Mike, I was reading over this draft, particularly part 2 (regarding the restructure of disability and compensation systems through DoD and VA). My question is, will this affect those currenly on TDRL...

Thanks afvet4t. Here is an article by Tom Philpot. I think TDRL becomes moot. If unfit, you get a disability retirement anuity plus VA disbility compensation. Mike VA-DoD Disability Reforms Tom...

So would this be "retro active?" In other words would they: Go back and correct all those young souls who where "screwed" and allow them to have a retirment? and Would they change those already on the...

As it is written at this point in history, the troops that received severance since 9/11 would have their cases reviewed. If a correction is warranted and an upgrade is due, it would be done. As for...

Sounds like DOD wants to ditch expenditure on the Informal and Formal boards and will merely identify a condition to boot you out with....then leave it up to the VA to rate that one condition of...

Wrench, I can tell you DoD may not like the Dole/Shalala plan at all. They currently use their rating powers to control disability expenditures. This plan says if you find some one unfit and medically...

So when does this go into effect? Sounds too good to be true. I guess the only worry or conviction I have is that I have spent many long sleepless nights doing homework and gathering regulations (via...

The Dole Shalala recommendations are just that, recommendations. To become fact Congress or the Executive branch need to get involved and change law and policy to meet the intent of the Dole Shalala...

Sorry to butt in. I've just read that article on Military.com and had a question. The article states: Any disability ratings awarded since 9/11 that resulted in payment of lump sum severance rather...

Since the law has not been changed yet, it is hard to know how they will handle reviews and how far they will go back. I suspect that the review will be based on the records at the time of the PEB (as...

The AFBCMR simply said that it was denied and that I couldn't reference the VA's rating because they were not the same. The DoD is who rated me, and that's what I had to go by. There was no...

It seems to me the AF is clearly in the wrong here. They are required by both 10 USC and DODI to follow the VASRD. Brian E-6 USAF Ch 61 Ret 70% SC groups.yahoo.com/group/Chapter61DisabledRetirees/

Phoebes95, This is a longstanding problem with DoD and the Services believing they are not required to rate per the VASRD as required in 10 USC 1201. If you read my statements to the VDBC on this...

Has it been discussed or even thought about are they going to require those that received 20% originally and then get upgraded to retirement, are they going to try to recoup the severence pay? From...

No doubt they will recover the sep pay. You won't get a bill, just on offset of sep pay from the total retirement pay due. Mike
