TLDR; Was diagnosed bipolar 2 while serving AD in the Marine Corps, was subsequently medically retired. I believe this to be a misdiagnosis and I am looking for advise, knowledge, etc in navigating this situation with the goal of reenlisting To be more detailed, I had a fairly bad bout of...

My attorney at NVLSP found out that my case has not been assigned to an analyst. In other words my case has been on the shelf for 12 months. Mind you my application was mailed to ARBA in December 2020 and took 5 months to be docketed on top of a 24 month wait period to get a decision that my...

Does anyone have guidance on this? I submitted a BCNR (Marines). I was rated low initially but after one year hit 30% and it’s gone up from there. The wild card is that I was DQ’d after being recalled for the surge in 2007, approximately one year to the day I was Honorably discharged. I know...

So I'm in the AFBCMR process...I applied in June 2020 and just received Advisory Opinions. My question is if anyone knows how long the Board is likely to take following my response back to them?

Last week I got a response to my congressional inquiry about the status of my case. Which at this point has been at the BCNR for 14 months and 3 weeks now. They told me that on April 16 they did a final legal review. They told me the next step is adjudication and then a decision will be made and...

A couple of days ago I got a response from the BCNR in regards to the status of my case. They told me on April 16th, 2020 that they did a final legal review on my case. That it is up for adjudication and then a decision will be signed off. How long does this whole adjudication process take? They...

Hi all, I am a new member to this forum. I joined the Navy June 1, 2000 and was discharged Honorably August 20, 2015. I deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2007 where I was the transportation duty driver/travel liaison my job responsibility including picking up newly reporting personnel...

Hello. I am trying to find anyone who received a separate rating for a herniated disk at one location (say L5-A1) and a separate rating for osteoarthritis or arthritis at another disk location (say L3-4). Today I came across a PDBR review that had these separate ratings. I was astounded...

Hello. When applying for the ABCMR, do you send them your complete medical records? Or just the pages that is your evidence? Thank you.

I wanted to say hello to everyone. Unlike many on this forum, I’m the husband of a veteran. My wife was a victim of MST when she served in the Air Force back in the late 1980’s. And like many female service members, she was pretty much railroaded out of the Air Force by being given a diagnosis...

I received my Cfile and saw that my ortho doctor made this note on Feb. 9, 1990: "MEB done, see accompanying SF600." There is also a note on DA Form 5008 from the same ortho doctor dated March 1, 1990 stating, "Call in regards to MEB paperwork." I also have a letter from my OBGYN Dr. dated March...

Thank you to all who take time to answer questions on this forum. Unfortunately, I just found this site last week otherwise I may have done a few things differently before. I just received my proposed ratings this week and they were DOD 20/VA 40. The DOD rating was for bilateral ankle tendonitis...

Good Evening, This may be the wrong forum, but I could not find one that really fit my question. I attempted to go through the MEB process in 2013 prior to separation from the Army in 2014. I was away from an Army base and seeing Air Force physicians. My PCM recommended me for the MEB, but I...

I have a decoration issue along with an PEB finding issue. They are both separate issues unrelated to one another. Can I file two individual AFBCMR requests and have them treated separately? Or will the AFBCMR only handle one request at a time? I don't want the two issues to be processed...
