I served 5 years active duty at ft hood and did two tours to Afghanistan. I have been blown up and have a blown disc (been issued a back brace and medication) have very bad PTSD and have panic attack multiple times a week.been diagnosed with a serious depression and anxiety. I switch to the...

I received my orders to clear and retire due to permanent disability from the army on December 10. Several months ago I had equipment stolen from me and I just started a Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss (FLIPL). My leadership told me that I will not be leaving or going anywhere...

What is typically the timeline to receive your retirement orders? I was placed on PDRL and signed my 199 almost two weeks ago. My PEBLO has kept me in the dark during this whole process and it's been really frustrating. Is there anywhere I can check to see what the status is? I really need to...

I just got an email from the PDBR stating this: We have updated your new address. Your case has met the board and is awaiting Service review. Cases are currently taking 24 months. Respectfully, Physical Disability Board of Review Am I at the last stages, or do I still have a ways to go...

Help! I was primed and ready to retire. Now, I'm suddenly stuck meeting an MEB instead! Does taking the LDES option have any downside in my circumstances? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the details. I'm an Air Force officer in Okinawa with 24+ years on active duty. I was...

I was put on tdrl at 100% and recently had another exam where they are trying to put me on permanent retirement. It is great since I don't have to go more exams. The only thing is that they have changed it from 100% to 40%. What does that change for me and my family being being changed from...

So i medically retired 22Jun17 and I did not receive my check for the first of july which was expected. However, when I called the VA to see when I will start getting paid, they did say i have to wait for my Disability award letter to come in the mail. Then i can submit that to the registration...

I have a quick question... So my husband is being medically retired from the AF (over 17 years active duty) and we were speaking to a family friend about the compensation portion. This person was medically retired from the Army after ten years of active duty service, and receives retirement...

I currently am rated 100% by the VA and 100% for TDRL, but I fear that my lack of treatment compliance with regular doctor visits in the last two years will almost certainly reduce my PDRL rating substantially, if they even deem me worthy of PDRL status at all. Accordingly, I have three...

Hi all. Sorry if this is a sort of silly question. I think I know the answer but I want to verify. If you request a VARR, and the VA accepts it and agrees to increase your percentage, does that mean your DOD percentage will automatically increase too for that referred condition? I did a VARR for...

Hello everyone. First, thank you ahead of time for the help! I have been in the Air Force for almost 17 1/2 years now. I am going through an MEB for my back and was just offered 20% disability for my back and a medical separation including 80% VA disability. I am going to appeal to the formal...

I left the Active Army and went into the Army Reserve last fall and was just recently rated 100% disabled by the VA. I have a total of about 12 and a half years of active duty time (22 years total service - active and reserve combined) and it was suggested to me that I should have pursued...

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...

If you choose to seek civilian care instead of going to the VA for treatment, how do civilian doctors access your medical records to look at your medical history? Do you have to bring them by hand are do the VA or Tricare have them electronically on file for the civilian doctors to look at? Thanks!

I am actually writing for my husband as we try to wade thru this process. My husband currently has over 16 years AD with the AF. He has been diagnosed with several chronic conditions including: PTSD, OCD, Anxiety (he's on meds for all of these), degenerative disc disorder (fusion surgery last...

How long does it take to get orders after signing 199. I signed mine Oct 26th, I know it's only been a week but would really like to know when I'll start clearing. 80% TDLR 90% VA.

Is the annual military 1.6% (whatever the number may be for a particular year) pay raise taken into account for retirement pay? (that would suck for people who retired when salaries were low as hell a couple of years ago if not)

When doing a self counseling in DPS, do I need an endpoint address to have my HHG put in Non-Temporary storage? I want to have my HHG stored where I'm currently stationed and then have it shipped when I get a new address and decide where to live. I have retirement orders. Also, when I finally...

I'm new on this forum and have a question that maybe someone on here can help me. I went into the Army back in 96. I was in for a year and a half until I got hurt. I was crossing the road going back to the base and was hit by a Korean soldier that was drunk driving. I suffered multiple injuries...

I will be living with family until I move to a new state for school for about 4 months. In the meantime, what do I do for medical care? I'm going to be a retiree, so do I have to continue seeing military providers since I'll still have Tricare, or can I find and choose a civilian provider? I'm...
