LIMDU.MEB/PEB

Hello. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the process is for LIMDU and PEB? I'm on my 2nd LIMDU (non-deployable) for an injury that I've had 3 surgeries on already. The unit I'm at is trying to PCS me. I was told that being on LIMDU is not part of the PEB, but it is part of the MEB so they can. Is this true? If so, how do they expect for me to heal and see if I'll even be fit for duty when my LIMDU ends? Please advise.

Dee,

Welcome to the forum!

My MTF flat out refused to let me PCS, or TDY, when I wanted to go to a different hospital in a different state to get better therapy. I was looking over the LIMDU paperwork and any time you're going to leave the area (TDY, Leave) it says you have to get approval through the MTF. It seems like they would have the final say over whether you can leave the area or not, not your command. At least that's how it's been playing out on my end.

Have you called the MEB office at your MTF to ask them?
 
Thank you. I have contacted the PEBLO and he even said I cannot go anywhere because I'm part of the Disability Evaluation System. He said I was put from ACC 100 to 105 saying I cannot be transferred. The command however wants to see something saying I'm part of a PEB. Is a LIMDU part of a PEB?
 
I'd give the command the PEBLO's phone number and tell them their ignorance isn't your problem. Only you might to dress that up a little better.

At my MTF, I had to go from the surgeon to the MEB office with the LIMDU paperwork in hand for them to put me on LIMDU. They offered to transfer me to a TPU (WTU for you possibly) if my current position would interfer with my medical appointments. I refused, but if your command is going you a lot of grief you may go to the MTF and ask for them to transfer you.
 
It's always a pleasure to see someone getting the information they need here. Good luck!
 
I am active duty navy. I am in my 5 month window to choose new orders. I have a disease whic requires me to have bi-weekly IV infusions. These infusions will prevent me from going to sea again. I am currently shore duty trying to get another shore billet but even if the detailer gives me orders EPMAC may not approve. My MTF wrote them a letter saying i am fit for duty but must remain within 100 miles of a hospital. The detailer is trying to say to accept duty to a sea command and when i do my medical screening they will fail me and that will justify them sending me to shore again but there is talk of puting me on limdu which i know i can do 12 months at most but after that what would be my next step. What that be a wise choice for me to accept sea orders only to fail or could epmac based on that letter send me to another shore command wiyout ever hurting my chances of future promotions. Or what if i get released from mu detailor and go recruiting would that hurt my promotion chances and could they do that all ready having knowledge of my condition. I knew of one other guy with my condition who had his med board and was retained but his rating was YN but I am in aviation and my rate must go to sea. But I am not a dirt Bag in fact I won SSOG 3rd FY 08 and SSOY FY 08 for my command I am the #1 E-6 in my command. I have confidence thte navy would not kick me out yet there is always that risk. So i should i just initiate a med board or take sea orders go limdu wait for a med board and hope i dont get kicked out. I really want to stay In I must admit I like the Navy alot.

One how many years you have in and also Sea Duty Screening will disqualify for any small deck but a large deck might be suitable. if you have over 18 safe 19 golden if less than that depending on your severity of your case don't think just because you are #1 that the navy will not get rid of you think about your health I put the navy before my health for 7 years trying to reach my goals I have over 19 years and also E-6 on PEB. you probally wont be fit for sea duty once you go to sea duty screening.
 
Be carefull the detailer don't no squat, they will not put you on shore again even if sea duty screening says so it is a recommendation not set in stone you are needed out to sea you have a sea going rate and if you are not over 18 be carfull it is up to bupers not epmac.
 
I have 16 yrs with 3 yrs reserve time which i know does not count for retirement so that brings me back to 14 yrs total active service time.
I know the traetment i recieve cant be done at sea. it has to be made on the spot and used in 24 hrs. If not every major hospital knows how to give my treatment and wont; then i know a ship wont either. If i could just get bupers(epmac whatever to give me shore duty again with a command that is easy going as the command i am now then a med should never become an issue. Thats why i am thinking of going recruiting they have pretty flexable schedules it is shore and should not be a career killer. that would bring me to just about 17-18 yrs. I just dont know the best route to go right now in getting orders
