Is This The Wave Of What Will Be?

*Please note that DAVs MUST HAVE A COMBINED RATING OF 100% TO BE ELIGIBLE. DAVs receiving 100% because of unemployable status but whose combined rating falls below 100% are NOT eligible. No exceptions will be made.

In order for dependents to receive an ID card the sponsor must be present, if not, the dependent must meet one of the following conditions:

wanted an ID for my wife and this is what was said...

As instructed by DMDC Korea I cannot issue ID cards to DAVs less than 100% per AFI 36-3026(I).

SUBJ: Commissary and Exchange Privilege Letters

The purpose of this letter is to advise regional offices that there has been no change in Department of Defense (DoD) or VA policy regarding commissary and exchange privileges for veterans rated 100% for individual unemployability (IU).

On May 10, 2000, Fast Letter 00-37 transmitted a ruling by DoD’s General Counsel that clarified the issue of commissary privileges for veterans rated 100% disabled due to IU. The ruling was the result of an apparent conflict between M27-1, Part I, Para. 3.08b(2), and a Department of Defense July 11, 1998, order that prohibited commissary and exchange privileges to those veterans.

DoD instructed its facilities that “honorably discharged veterans determined by the VA to have a service-connected disability of no less than 60%, but rated 100% disabled based on individual unemployability are entitled to MWR, Commissary and Exchange privileges.” This instruction is still in effect. M21-1, Part VII, Para 5.08b is still in effect except for the references to VLET, which PCGL letters have replaced.

In issuing letters for commissary and exchange privilege purposes, regional offices must use one of the three PCGL AB3 letters. They are: Future Exam Scheduled, No Future Exam Scheduled, and To Surviving Spouse. Do not use any other letters, and do not include any reference to an IU rating in the PCGL letters.

I guess Wings has nailed it and case is closed. 60% or more rated with TDIU are eligible for commissary benefits.

I guess I need to go back to check out the Commissary Wings cause I found in many cases it is like shopping at Sam's to get a deal you need large quantities and also THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF THERE THAT IS MORE EXPENSIVE.

I am going to check out again cause we are buying diapers and formula for little Liam and it is pretty expensive.

Bob...do what Wings said, but don't deal with this E-4. Jump up to his platoon leader, or better yet, his company commander. You'll get better results there. You are not beholden to follow his chain of command...you outrank him.
