Hi All,
A little bit about myself so you know.. I was in the Marine Corps for 4 years with 2/6 on MCB Camp Lejeune from 05'-09' and served in OIF Fallujah City, Iraq to be exact. I got out and was a Federal Police Officer for almost 3 years which proved to not turn out well due to my anger and memory issues. Although I wasn’t fired from that job and left on my own terms I eventually would have been at the rate I was going (6 write ups to the head shed in less than 2 years). So, I left that job and now am in a Logistics job I got through a VRA appointment and am having troubles at this job due to my service connected disabilities. So, basically I have been struggling with the work environment. I have to constantly go to scheduled VA appointments because
of my PTSD and TBI issues which is burning through my leave and I am almost on LWOP but my supervisor said I could get on the donor list because of my situation. Anyways I am in the process of being Re-eval'ed to increase the PTSD, Migraine headaches, Anxiety Disorder and finally to add TBI which I was diagnosed with last year. My question is when I go to the VSO and we start the process FEB 22nd and I ask for the things mentioned above I want to ask for IU because of everything I have been dealing with which my MD already knows is driving me insane. So, since I work for he Fed Govt still IF I get approved for 100% IU (which I think I have a pretty good case for from what all my Doc's tell me) what would happen at my current position being a fed Govt employee? Would I get medically retired from this position because it's all from service connected issues (which I did buy my USMC time back already) or would they have to appeal my original discharge from the Corps to read medically retired? I know that changing your DD214 from voluntary sep to medically retired is possible but how does all of this work. HELP! Thanks guys.
