NVLSP has been contacted by some veterans who received the legal notice, but did not join the Sabo lawsuit by the deadline for doing so. Because the settlement is so favorable to veterans, some of these veterans have asked us if there is a way that NVLSP can help them now.
NVLSP cannot promise to help all of these veterans. But if you (a) were medically separated upon release from active duty service with a severance payment, (b) received the legal notice and (c) did not join the lawsuit, we may be able to help you. We suggest that you send a copy of your DD 214 and your PEB findings to:
National Veterans Legal Services Program
c/o SABO SCREENING
P.O. Box 65762
Washington, DC 20035
Facsimile: 202-223-9199
If you were separated or retired from the Army, the form that contains the PEB findings is called "Physical Evaluation Bard (PEB) Proceedings," or a "DA 199," and you can view a sample of the form by clicking here. If you were separated or retired from the Air Force, the form is called "Findings and Recommended Disposition of USAF Physical Evaluation Board," or an "AF Form 356," and you can view a sample of the form by clicking here. If you were separated or retired from the Navy or the Marine Corps, the form that contains the PEB findings is called "Findings of the Physical Evaluation Bard Proceedings," and you can view a sample of the form by clicking here.
In addition, please be sure to provide us with your full name (including any alternate names, e.g., maiden name or previous married name), your social security number, home address, primary and alternative phone numbers, and email address (if any).
Within two weeks of receiving the copy of your DD214 and PEB findings, you will be contacted by a member of NVLSP's staff about whether NVLSP can help you.
