Posting on behalf of a friend, there question is as follows:

I’ve received an email from the Navy to come in for my PEB. i got out on TDRL and was bumped to PDRL in July.I have been on PDRL since July of last year with the VA and I don’t understand why I would have to go in with the Navy when Im receiving 100 percent from the VA already. I’ve been out since November of 2017. What am I supposed to do?

This looks like someone didn't close out this Sailor's record. It shows the Sailor as TEMPORARY disability retirement, not PERMANENT. If the Sailor was indeed bumped to the PDRL, then the Sailor needs to contact the PEB and/or the PEBLO and straighten it out. Likely all that needs to happen is the PEB needs the record of finalization and movement to PDRL instead of TDRL. But the Sailor needs to get on this NOW so that if PEBLO says (s)he still needs to go do the exam because it won't be straightened out in time, the Sailor may need to bite the bullet and EXECUTE rather than risk termination of retirement pay.

I read through the docs you posted and it seems they want to reevaluate you. Take your VA docs and then schedule a medical eval. The Navy doesn't answer to the VA so they can have you come in. The real problem is that they have you listed as temporary disabled and this is most likely why you got the letter. The real task will be to get the Navy to change the TDRL rating. You should have nothing to fear unless you are gaming the system.

It depends on the DD-214. Look for "separation code" and "re-entry code." That will say whether or not can re-enter.

The 100-percent service connection has little say when it comes to re-entry, since VBA regularly adjusts drill pay for Reserve/Guard duty service member who are also 100-percent service connected disabled. However, if you have completed your 8-year military service obligation, then you're not subject to recall.
