  1. @Richard1954 Wow!!! I had no idea about what the Army was doing or about the laws. Thank you so much for this information!!
  2. @Richard1954 That’s the thing, I wasn’t waiting on any retirement papers at all. In 2016 when I originally filed for PTSD the VSR found markers in my personnel records that indicated I had it while in service. I don’t know how or who they gave my records to, but it seems the Army realized there mistake and are trying to fix it. I have an I.D. for being 100% p&t. I’m going to call DEERS on Monday and see if they can tell me anything. The email I got from ebenefits about having received a DOD rating maybe accurate after all.
  3. Well, I went on MilConnect today and it looks like I’m eligible for Tricare. Beneficiary Web Enrollment popped up under my benefits. The site states it only pops up if you are entitled to Tricare Benefits. I’m not able to enroll until November when enrollment opens up. The only way I’d qualify for this is due to medical retirement. Ebenefits says I now have an honorable discharge. I’m not sure what to make of all this and am a bit confused.
  4. @GBArmy thanks for the encouraging words. I am for sure going to apply for an upgrade with the discharge. I’ll definitely keep you posted.
  5. @vetquest You’re right...sadly. I started getting excited, but ebenefits is notorious for being unreliable. It’s probably a mistake. I emailed my VSO, but she is out of town until next week. If by some miracle it is medical retirement I’ll update you.
  6. I was granted TDIU P&T last week. Today I received a no reply email from Ebenefits. It stated that they aware of my separating from the military and have received a DOD disability rating. Originally, the Army gave me the boot with a general discharge and busted down in rank. I had PTSD while in service and didn’t know it, but they knew something was off. During my original claim I’m 2014 the VSR found markers while still in the service that showed signs of PTSD. Does anyone know if it’s possible that I am now being granted a medical retirement due to the evidence the VA found? Has this happened to anyone?
  7. @vetquest Thank you so much for this valuable bit of information!! I learn so much from you guys on this site. I will be applying for this and Social Security as soon as possible.
  8. @vetquest My VSO sent me a copy of my award letter. I have been granted TDIU total and permanent. In the last post you wrote about me possibly getting retirement by filing with the Board of Correction. How long did the process take for you? Do you have any pointers that could help my case?
  9. @vetquest thanks for letting me know. I had no idea anything could be done. As soon as this claim has been decided I’ll look into it.
  10. @vetquest I got out of the military in 2009. My behavior had drastically changed and I had ptsd without knowing it. They put me out with a general discharge. I tried working from 2017 -2018. The first job was part-time and I made less than $8,000 a year. The second job was with the federal government and lasted a little less than 6 months. My total income for that year was about $14,000 and I was fired. I gave the VA a copy of the letter as evidence. I’m hoping the evidence is enough to get me TDIU. My claim is supposed to be decided by July 18th. They are just waiting on medicL records from my private therapist which she faxed to the intake center today.
  11. @GeekySquid I’m going to take up yoga...maybe this will help
  12. @Blessed @GeekySquid The VA recently sent out a request to Social Security and both my former employers. Is this a good sign? A VA rep informed me former employers aren’t contacted unless the rater is leaning towards granting IU...not sure how true this is
  13. @GeekySquid thanks for the good info. I will definitely be paying more attention to both ebennies and va.gov.
  14. @Blessed @GeekySquid thanks for the encouragement.
  15. @Blessed thank you, I needed to hear this!!! I’ll try and stay away from ebenefits and 1 800 # for awhile. The Baltimore RO has burned me before, but hopefully this time is different.
