I received my rating from the VA. I went from 50% to 80%. Can I get medically retired?

Based on your disability rating, your Branch of Service may place you on either the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) or the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL).

SGM Matthew Quick Sir how would I go about doing that? Request a MRB or what? I would be more than happy to email you my disability paperwork if you want me to get a better idea.

I think the medical retirement depends more on the rating you get from the army not VA. I could be wrong but that is my understanding, good luck.

I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, not sure what the Army would think about me having to use that when we go out into the field. Thanks for the input SGT!

In my opinion, and strictly my opinion, if you are eligible for any form of normal retirement to include TERA you should receive concurrent receipt.
