Technically, you don't ask for an MEB, you are referred by a Commander, an MMRB (Medical MOS Retention Board), or by a military doctor. But, in order for you to get this issue addressed, I think you...

Imajus, Gotta agree with Mike and Jason. File a claim with VA for C&P now. Once you get the decision take it to your FTUS personnel. This will force their hand at refering you to MMRB, especially...

Update: So I talked to some people at my unit and since I am due for my five year physical they turned in a voucher for me to have that done the second week of February. I am going to bring in all my...

Imajus The five-year physical is the BEST way to present your issues. For reservists it is often the only way. Required Form 2807-1(Report of Medical History) #'s 17 and #24 is your opportunity to...

Imajus One of the few, and I mean very few, advantages Reservists have in the disability system is that they occasionally have VA decisions PRIOR to army disability system decisions. This may very...

So the doctor agreed that my condition was severe enough to warrant concern. I am also working on a claim with the VA. My next question is how long should this process take, like how long from...

To be clear...it is a huge advantage to have a VA decision prior to disability processing. Total time from FEDHEALS 5-year physical to fitness decision (and permanent profile) was 6 months for me. You...

OK, now I see your point...military doctor findings/profiles/LOD might help your VA benefits. If you are not going for military severance/retirement you may have a point. Actually, in my case both...

Imajus, I received my VA award while actively drilling and it does seem to have made everything pretty easy (although slow) for me so far. Incidentally, it was a heart murmur that started the whole...

Imajus Service members should be able to check their MEB status on AKO. Log onto AKO and go to your medical, then look for your MEB. Has anyone ever went on AKO and checked their MEB?
View ArticleRe: Process of getting MEB in Army Reserve (update, more ?'s)
Yeah I saw that, but every time I go to AKO it says "medical information is currently unavailable" and "no records found" under the My MEB/PEB.

I am in the NG (on AC pending a MED) and my AKO states "medical information is currently unavailable" and i could see them 2 weeks ago. So I am guessing that this means that they are finally starting...
