I am facing a MEB. My LES says 22yrs of service, I get paid max pay. When I go to the MEB, will this be my years of service they will use in consideration for Medical Retirement? Will they use my BASD, PEBD, or DIEMS? My YOS pay has been verified by the Brigade S1 SGM. I was active then reserve then active now.

You might not get a medical retirement, you might get a medical separation instead, depending on what the IDES rates you. When your ratings are returned the PEBLO will explain how much money you're getting. There are multiple formulas with multiple ratings for VA and Army money. Too many to begin to speculate on right now until you have your ratings back. I realize you want to get an idea of what you'll be getting but at this point it could be anything from a few hundred to several thousand a month and lots of extra benefits. If you're curious about the formulas you can go on the DFAS website for them.

If you have a long list of ailments write them down for your VA physical. Be honest with the doctor giving you a physical evaluation. Some people will minimize their pain.

When the Examiner asked, he didn't want to hear it.
I straight up asked the Examiner half way through, "Do you really want to hear it?"
He said, "No".
WELL I TOLD HIM.
He may have taken that day home with him.
BE HONEST, TELL THEM.IN TEARS IF YOU HAVE TO.
I cant discourage FULL BLAST, but be respectful to the Examiner. Don't scare him to fear you, just your episode(s).

After the VA gives you a physical they will make you a % proposal and u will most likely have a VA rep at your post. If u don’t agree with the proposal I am going to make the assumption that you should appeal the proposal right away with VA rep.
