I'm a drilling Navy Reservist. I am currently 80% service connected with 16 good years (17 in September) with almost 5 active. I received my rating a couple years ago and had notated such on my PHA's. Apparently it was glanced over until now. My last PHA was done in March. I received orders to...

I'm Active Duty in the Marine Corps, and today I was informed by my psychiatrist that I was put onto a Med Board. We both mutually agreed upon it, as things have been getting worse and my mental health has significantly taken a tole on my performance. The PEB Admin called me yesterday also, and...

What happens if the med board process goes past your eaos(end of contract)? Do they stop the board and get you out of do they finish out the board?

So received my findings and I received 50% for mdd (referred condition) but looking at the 70% mark I know I fall in there so I put in a reconsideration and I just wanted to ask anyone who has been through that how much longer things would take? I was told if I accepted I could expect late June...

I was wondering if anyone knows how this virus has affected peoples cases and the BCNR processing and making decisions? Are they taking a vacation and not going to work because of it?

Today I sent in a congressional inquiry through my state senator. It’s been over 13 months now and I am really curious and have a burning desire as to where I stand with my pending BCNR case. All I’ve gotten from them is an advisory opinion and a docket number. I know I’m not at the 18 month...

Hey everyone, I posted about my situation a while back, but I have more questions. I have been seeking treatment for migraines for about a year now to no avail. I have tried Botox, occipital nerve blocks, and a variety of meds with nothing working. I have 15-20 migraines a month, with about 4-5...

Good Evening Everyone! I was curious if anyone had any insight into where I can locate regulations stating my allowance of 20 days PTDY due to medical retirement. I am in the Navy and I do understand that this is an entitlement and I am not guaranteed anything. I would like to put in a request...

So I am more than likely going to be referred to a PEB here soon for chronic migraines. With that said, it looks like if my case gets sent to a PEB they will evaluate more than just what I’m being boarded for. Is this correct? I also have sleep apnea (with CPAP), depression, and anxiety. What is...

Ok guys I’m about 1-2 months from my dr referring me to a PEB if the current round of migraine treatments don’t work. At the moment I am taking propranolol, sumatriptan, receiving Botox, and receiving occipital nerve blocks. I have been having these for the past year and my doctor said what...

I posted a slightly longer version of this elsewhere, but thought the length might have scared people off. Basically my migraine meds might work, but I gained a lot of weight and can’t meet pt standards due to shortness of breath with even the slightest it of running. Am I still looking at a PEB?

My LDES package got sent to DC today and I’m trying to be found unfit, what do you think the possibility is? Background: 3 years of treatment with no outcome for lumbar spondlysis, facet arthritis and stenosis in the lumbar region, not a candidate for spinal fusion due to my age. I’m to young...

So this is my first post and I'm assuming this question has been asked before but I can't seem to find an exact answer. I have signed my paperwork to medically retire with 70/70 VA and DOD respectively. Now that this is over, I have zero idea of what is supposed to happen next. I have been...

I was diagnosed earlier this year with MDD. After being hospitalized and inpatient for almost a week, I was placed on a LIMDU status. However, recently my civilian psychiatrist diagnosed me with Bipolar 2 and my therapist has also concurred with the diagnosis. Pdoc put me on Lamictal and kept...

Hello all, I'll post my timeline thus far and a bit of background information. Hopefully it helps someone out. Referred conditions: Migraine headaches, PTSD, Unspecified Anxiety Disorder September 2018 - Med Board initiated. February 2019 - NARSUM completed and package sent off to DOD...

Hello everyone, I have just started the whole MEB process two weeks ago. I met with my attorney and he informed me not to write a personal statement. I then attended a DTAPS class where they told all of us that we should submit a personal statement after they found out most of our attorneys...

Background: I'm in CTI A school, graduating soon. A little over a year in the Navy. Just recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and referred for a PEB. I've had labs, seen several nutritionists and done an endoscopy as well. I do not eat in military facilities, I have BAS paperwork in the works...

Does anyone know who to contact to get your TDRL revaluation pushed up for Navy?

My PEB was closed and I'm 2 months to my EAOS, the MEB itself took well over 8 months and it has been frustrating. I am getting a required surgery in Feb for my referring condition (crohns) and the ersonnel would like to speak to me on monday. I'm fairly certain they will advise me against...

I hope this information is helpful to some of you going through the process. I have been plodding through the process, but it seems to be moving along relatively quickly. I was initially referred to MEB/PEB for my spinal fusion and the PTSD was added during the MEB before my package was sent...
