Change of Release Letter

Thanks for the info! And I should clarify I had a 4B release, not 4F. Gunner, not a clerk!

Welcome to the Forum.

A 3B release does change things in terms of your move and benefits you may be entitled to. Keep a record of confirmation of the change of release.

good luck!
I'm in the same boat since 2010 and no one will help.

I moved this question from another forum.

I released 4F (voluntary) in Oct 2015, and then out of nowhere, I got a letter from DMCA 4 stating that due to a 'clerical error', I should have been medically released 3B, and that my category has now changed. Long story short, I've been getting dicked around by DND since I retired. I had to foot the bill for my move because they wouldn't pay my for my IPR, I've been getting nowhere trying to get answers as to how this change of release letter is going to effect my pension, and I am sure I read somewhere that with a med release, the member is entitled to a paid move. So, I've decided to go post my question of this forum, in hopes that I can get some peer support, and some answers to my many questions. Any info would be appreciated.
