  1. well Im still in the Navy so I talk to the HRO officer at my hospital and asked her what are my requirements for a job the has continous openings. She said yes I qualilfy . you dont need a degree for a GS03 Job. I also called the local manager if the position was open because its supposed to up date every 14 days . and job is still avalible . the hiring office on base is stating it only highers locals and spouses but the announcement is differant . Also they say they dont offer Civilalian sofa status . The Announcement is differant by stating eligible veterans may apply .( Eligible veterans may apply regardless of geographical location) HRO office here says that means 50m from location which is also untrue because that would also be considered a local hire. So people can get hired under japanese pay system not the the government pay system DFAS. They arent hiring Veterans . By saying stuff like you arent eligible for Sofa or you are outside the area . Both of which I have proven to be invalid reasons of not getting the job.
  2. So recently I applied for a job at the Commisarry in Japan on USAJOBS.gov . I was told I wouldnt be eligible for sofa status to obtain this job . That only GS8 and above only get civilian sofa . Which doesnt make sense to me because the Job announcement states. Eligible veterans may apply regardless of geographical location.(50miles from location according to HRO) but doesnt say that in job announcement, and I fall under multiple categories for this job that doesnt require much according to HRO. Eligible under Veterans' Recruitment Appointment (VRA) Eligible under Veterans' Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA) Eligible under Veterans' Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA) due to derived veterans' preference Eligible under Veterans with a service-connected disability of 30% or more All of which I fall under . Now here is the kicker according to the Veterans with service-connected disabilty of 30 percent or more you must be retired for a disabilty . Which I will be . The Military doesnt separate people for medical disabilites overseas . They process everyone in the states with the Veteran Affairs Hospital . 8-10 locations of which I cant remember . Now once you seperate from the Military you lose SOFA status for that region . And become a veteran when you seperate from service. So how is it they have these options for this job Overseas if no veterans are eligible for them . You would require SOFA to work their . And they try to say you have to be a local hire which would mean a Japanese work visa which no one is eiligible for under Japanese work Visa laws . and its a GS job.
  3. Can you claim for PTSD and Panic disorder with agoraphobia ?
  4. Ok so the panic disorder with agoraphobia started because of my PTSD symptons . do the military doctors usually rate a gaf rating higher than the VA ? im rated at about a 64 and doctors says im getting worse at each appointment .
  5. I currently saw this post earlier . and frosty69 said "Evaluation of PTSD and panic disorder with agoraphobia, which is currently 70% disabling is increased to 100% effective Dec 16, 2003"(i was wondering where the documentation of this was. or is it partaining to your case only ) I have been diagnosed with the same thing an am now waiting on my PEB results . To get approval to go to IDES does anyone know how long this approval takes. Im currently stationed overseas. Also How often does the PEB agree with the med board results ?
  6. I am currently in the military . Still on Limdu. I am being diagnosed with agoaphobia with panic disorder. Is their a disability rating for this ? I also have PTSD. Doctors think this started because of the PTSD while I was in Afghanistan. 1. Do I start my VA paperwork while im still in the service ? 2. How long does it take if i get a disability rating to get paid for it ?
