Good to know. I plan on resigning 30 Sep so until I get a DD214 the VA won't continue to look at my paperwork. I was extended a couple of times so my original out date of 1 January has now turned to 1 October. They closed my pending case, what they had deferred, the end of July, 31 days ago, so I hope I don't have to do all the exams again. Thank you for all the info.
