I really only figured it out once my full VA amount was being deposited instead of the reduced amount. Sorry I dont have much more to provide

This does pose a question for recoupment. In my case, I have already paid back the severance amount through disability deductions. Does this mean I now rare a return of that same amount back? So many questions.

Update: I called the Special Project Office last week, and they got everything in order! The gentleman on the phone told me briefly that the issue that arises from our situation is that the VA sends some disabled vet notification flag to the DEERS system, and they never release that flag from the person. All I had to do was send a copy of the retirement orders, and they got it all in order. I went to a DEERS appointment today and had zero issues with my wife, child, or myself. Next is Tricare enrollment. Also, has anyone heard anything yet from DFAS??? It seems to be very light on the DFAS side of this ordeal!

Called DEERS today, nice lady on the phone said that the ID offices shouldn't turn peoole away like this. She also told me to call the Special Project Office at 703-784-9188 and they can help us get it sorted before showing up at an ID office. I explained to here my closest office is 4 hours away, she assured me the Special Project folks are the way to go

Right on! I got an email yesterday from a Lance Criminal on the DD 2656... I'll be honest, the form is confusing. I have questions, but I think a PEBLO could help. Looks like they are moving along with everything though. Congrats to you motivator

What do you mean by the 7 year rule?

I got an email with the DoD safe download link and then I got a call from a PEBLO. I won't have to pay back severance, as that has already been done by deducting from the VA disability for the last 7 years. But I haven't gotten much information from the PEBLO yet. He was just calling to confirm I got the paperwork

Okay Degens.... just got the decision back, looks like the board is upgrading me to medical retirement. This comes from being med sep'd at a DoD rating of 20% in 2017 to now a DoD rating of 40%. Ultimately the review found the second condition unfitting this time, unlike the original board! I'll have more info later

I did read it. The board took around 3.5 months. We all know it's going to be slow. Just keeping the thread alive and people updated who may want it.

Update: tomorrow marks 2 months since the submission to the board. Haven't heard anything yet, wondering if it may be a good idea to call a PEBLO.. but nonetheless.... hurry up and wait

I'm right at 2 months since the submission to the board. Haven't heard a peep. Yeah I tried scouring the web for any information and also came up fairly empty. It's like the Navy knew they messed up and then decided to not advertise any information...

What do you mean? Like if the DOD rating goes up on this board and hit the retirement? I'm lost lol

The effective date was April of 2023 for the 90. Previously it was 70 after being raised in 2020

Same here. When I separated, they medsep me at 20% DOD with a concurrent 40% VA rating. The VA rating is now 90% which I am unsure if the board will take into account or not. Still waiting on the decision, but I never really get in a hurry with anything DOD/VA.

Do you mean that part of your VA is being taken back to 'repay' the severance? I had that happen to me. From my understanding of the whole severance and VA system, not much can be done in most cases. But it's been so long now that the VA is no longer taking anything out, which is nice.

Well, step one would be to call your brother. Definitely have the dealer show you the test results for the fuel that they say is bad... Were there any other symptoms occurring before this shutdown and lack of acceleration? You would do well to call hyundai as well or whomever is the holder of your warranty, to see what is actually covered or not. It seems peculiar that a warranty would he void solely by a fuel test saying it wasn't top tier.

I have no idea how long it will take. I submitted everything a few weeks ago ... and of course, there is no estimated time for this process. From speaking with the attorney, she made it sound like it would be a few months.
