When to challenge

[FFuries]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

I am an AF Reservist (22 1/2 years = 10 years AD, with 6 more years AD during 12 1/2 years in the reserves) currently going through a IPEB, with an Active Duty LOD. As per the rules a Reservist with an AD LOD condition, that is P-4 no pay no points must be offered AD orders. It took a total of 7 months before I received my orders, and that was only after it was recommended that I file a Congressional Complaint. I was told that they are looking at making the orders retroactive. I have been on orders now for 18 months, I will be medically retired sometime in the future (amazed it has taken this long). I received separation pay when I was involuntarily released from AD 12 1/2 years ago. I knew that I would have to pay back the separation pay, not a problem. When should I ask about my retroactive orders and back pay? Who should I address this to? As soon as I retire, I will have to start re-paying my debt, was thinking of paying it off with one lump sum, out of my retroactive pay. I think that my case is going to start moving quicker now. I don't want to wait, then find out that I waited too long. When you owe Uncle Sam a buck, you better pay up, but it takes a while when it's the other way.

I have been rated with a VA code that will retire me at 100% disable (not that I am ready or wanting to get out), so it's not like I am going to go out and get another job. So every $ I get in retirement and VA benefits is going to be needed.
