I've been asked to make a choice between IDES and LDES. I have been looking through the forums and reddit and nothing really answers my questions. I ask this in hopes someone has already been through the process, and it reaches other in the same situation I'm in. I think we all have a general...

Hello all. Does anyone know for certain that if a member going through PEB has over 20 years of active service, they will be medically retired regardless of disability rating? Even if rated 0%?

Got a question and can’t seem to find the answer. A friend insists there is a difference being AD Army and medical retired at 15 years vs 14 years of qualified years. The only thing I discovered is the option for TERA at 15 years (*only if authorized by Congress). Any insight will be appreciated.

How long after you submitted your retirement package to admin did you receive your retirement orders? And how long before your EAS was that? I’m asking because I spoke to household goods and they said that if you do a DITY (aka PPM) before orders are cut you are not entitled to a...

I was active duty for 9 1/2 years from aug 2010-2019. I got out on my own accord in June and prior to getting out I applied for VA disability. I joined the Navy reserves in July 2019 (less than 1 mos break in service- kept getting calls from recruiters and gave in). In October 2019 I found out I...

I’m over 20 and been in the PEB for 60 days. I have completed my capstone and have been reassured that my condition is unfitting. Can I submit my appendix J while awaiting the final days of the PEB or will that interfere with the VA/DOD/ect. I would put the request in for 6 months from now and...

I'm trying to see what takes precedence. I was selected to promotion from CW2 to CW3 October 2020. At the same time I was notified my promotion would be withheld and Promotion Review Board would be initiated. I selected to appeal this process knowing that it would take 12-18 months to...

Quick backstory. 16 years active duty, will be placed on the TDRL on 14 June 2021, 90% combined DOD and 100% VA. 70% of the DOD is confirmed to be as a direct result of combat, noted on my orders and cannot be reduced. I was informed that my retirement and disability pay will be offset. Does...

I'm a reserve officer with 19 good years, 10.5 on active duty. I went to a medical retention board 10 years ago for a non service-related condition that seemed to clear up and hadn't given trouble till recently. I was cleared for worldwide deployment and mobilized a few years ago just fine...

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I was told at one point during my MEB that I need to be careful with federal employment if I am medically retired from the military. I was going through a lot at the time and didn't...

I recently completed my PEB, awarded 70% DOD, 100%VA P&T, and approved for PLD out to my 20 year mark. My question is should I accept a Medical retirement at 20 years (TDRL) or request the waiver & apply for a regular on the same date? Does it make a difference? Appreciate the community...

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and will likely have an MEB. I can still perform my duties as assigned and PT tests, etc. I am a bit over 19 years. Is it best that I apply for retirement before everything becomes official or wait and see how this plays out? Thanks.

Good afternoon, I am trying to understand what the Army considers disposable income as far as Divorce division is concerned. Here’s my situation I am divorced and during the divorce my ex was granted $400 per month of my retirement. I fought it to no success because she was cheating while I was...

Currently an O2E with 10 years looking at 20 or 30% dod, 80 VA. My issue is borderline at 20 or 30%, if I get 20% I would get 100k severance. I have a federal GS9 job lined up so I'm not worried about the insurance benifits, would it be better to get the retirement or the severance?
