vx15i posted:You only get the cool benefits if you are rated over 30% service. VA ratings don't count. The system is jacked up and PEB liaisons generally don't know anything beyond how to fill out the paperwork. See if you can find a vet service rep willing to help. Getting the service rating right the first time is vital. Vet reps can't do poo poo in the PEB process. You can get a lawyer to help you at no cost.

Let this be a lesson for anybosy reading this. File under BDP before you get out. I'm sorry it's taking so long man.

t_bright posted:No, sorry, that's a goddamn lie. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FILE BDD. The average wait time for the development phase in the salt lake city office is at least 330 days. Mine is nearing 400 days. You shouldn't give advice because your poo poo's all hosed up because you hosed up and got an OTH. Your situation is unique and not a standard. FOR ALL THE ACTIVE DUTY PEOPLE READING THIS THAT WONT BE GETTING OUT WITH AN OTH, UTILIZE BDD within 60-180 DAYS OF ETSing. It's the FASTEST possible way to get paid besides being in the PEB/DES system. This "normal" filing is wrong. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER loving FILE AFTER YOU GET OUT if you can help it. You can file your poo poo and have all your examinations done BEFORE YOU EVEN GET OUT. Now if you have less than sixty drat days left, use the QUICK START program. You can file QUICK START YOUR LAST loving DAY IN THE MILITARY AND YOUR CASE IS PROCESSED BEFORE THE "NORMAL" CASES. I'm truly sorry poo poo's not going your way but don't put out bad info. Telling people not to file while stile active duty is the biggest mistake I've seen in this thread and all the vet threads in GIP. One piece of advice for any active duty reading this. If you think you can get your doctor to put in a PEB for anyone of your conditions, DO IT. If found unfit for duty your entitlements can be a little bit more than a VA compensation check. For example medical severance, retirement, base access, commissary privileges etc. Most importantly, you start getting paid within a month of discharge.

kys posted:I'm in the same boat when it comes to VA disability. I filed my claim in March of 2010, 4 months before getting my DD-214. Turns out the VFW rep I filed through didn't turn it in (woops!) and I had the luxury of filling out another application for disability in August 2010 (I was so pissed I waited a month to refile). Here I am, late October 2011, still in Development Phase. I e-mailed my Congress Rep two weeks ago about a Congressional Inquiry and I haven't heard poo poo from them either. Did you file specifically under BDD or Quick Start? It makes all the difference in filing. Also, all the VSOs are awesome and I appreciate what they do but the absolute hands down best for dealing with VA Disability Compensation is DAV. And my experience with VA healthcare has been extremely positive. The wait times can be a little long at times but that's about it. Obviously there are lovely parts about it, I know but they're there to help you.

Other than wanting to get out sooner there is no draw back to going the PEB route. And yes the DoD findings are in no way binding for the VA but the VA findings are 99.99% more favorable.

Jesus H Nyce posted:Anybody familiar with the Army College Fund, specifically how a lot of people seem to be getting dicked out of it? More details at this link: Didn't read the link because I'm about to trick or treat but just real quick: I opted for the Navy College Fund for my enlistment bonus. It was for 50k. When I got out and started preparing the GI Bill, I asked around and was told to get my enlistment contract out and prepare for a hassle. So I got prepared for an ordeal but it was taken care of in the first five minutes of phone calls. I called my service HQ and told them I was out and wanted to collect on my NCF. I didn't even have to fax or fill anything out, the dude just looked me up and sent some info of to VA and it was done. Bam, five minutes. It works out to about $420 for me per month paid out in full for the semester at or near the start of the semester. Obviously it's not going to be 50k but I guess the fine print of the service college funds basically means you'll get a total of 50k for all entitlements. It's misleading but still a great deal.

Tinnitus without hearing loss is standard of 10%. Almost nobody gets denied for it and you don't have to have a prior history of it as long as you file with the VA before getting out. If you're already out then you would have to have something in your medical record.

Spongebob Tampax posted:Anyone else catch wind (see the class action lawsuit commercials) about the VA issuing drugs for 'off-label' reasoning? I'm on blood pressure meds for severe migraines. Don't know if it will work yet. Off label prescriptions are pretty common though and not something exclusive to the VA.

Spongebob Tampax posted:Did they give you that for travel reimbursement? Every time I go to my VA they tell me to hit the travel office for mileage reimbursement but I live a whole 15 miles from the hospital so it seems pointless. It was even more pointless when I still lived in Murfreesboro, TN and was maybe 4 miles from the hospital. Yeah, it was for travel. I never ask because I live maybe 25 miles from the VA hospital. But the check was just waiting for me at QTC without asking.

Yes, you'll have to go through psych. However, if you have a previous prescription they can have someone order a refill while you wait for your referral. I got pretty fed up with waiting and the quality of care was abysmal so I just suck up and pay a copay and use my tricare out in town. Right now I have my primary care doc do my med management and I see a therapist. May switch to a psychiatrist for med management, not sure yet.

HClChicken posted:Why is it that everybody says I can suspend paying my car loan while deployed. From all the research SCRA doesn't have that provision. As far as I know, that's definitely not true. There are companies that will let you suspend service as courtesy like cellphone, cable companies but I've never seen a car loan suspended. Especially when there are things like compound interest involved. Why would you want to anyway? When I deployed I made double/triple payments on things while I had that sweet deployment cash.

Also, when you defer a cell contract or cable contract, the deferment time is added on to your original contract.

TLG James posted:Anyone knows if you are hosed if you missed a life insurance payment? I was out of the country for 4 months and totally blanked on it. I paid it now, but it was ~35 days or so late. Keep paying and if they don't send you a letter that your insurance is no longer valid then you're good to go. Once you're paid in full, call and verify your account is still active. You should be fine though.

mhachtx posted:Hey guys, sometime in the future I might have to short sale my house that is guaranteed by a VA loan. I know they will hold my C&P payments until the debt is recovered, but will this gently caress up my GI Bill payments? Will the payments to my school, and myself be with held until the debt is recovered? It shouldn't screw you with GI Bill. If they say something about it you can always make arrangements so your GI Bill wont be affected.
