You'll probably see it close and then a new claim open up, which will then close within a couple days. Most times, ebenefits updates before your PEBLO gets word. Look for (DES) in the "Disabilities" section. That will tell you when it closed. That's what mine did. I just signed my 199 yesterday. Ratings came back last week. Your case may be similar.
 
Hey @Crimsion

My MEB has been going fast as well. My packet was sent up to the PEB 7 days ago. Who did you contact at PEB who told you UNFIT?

Call (202) 685-6422, it's the PEB help desk.

I am still currently on pending decision approval at this time. I am sure it will most likely change tomorrow hopefully.

@SSGHooah

Sorry about not being able to reply to you the other day. I am been pretty busy right now. I hope you were able to call today and figure everything out.
 
@JohnViro
@Crimsion

Thanks to you both. Would I need to ask for anyone in particular when I call this number? About how long did you wait until you called. The last thing I want to do is call and annoy somebody because I haven’t waited long enough.

It's a customer service desk, so just whoever picks up, just ask them about the status of your MEB package. And I called after like a week after my PEBLO sent my package to the PEB. I never had the same person ever pick up, so don't worry too much about annoying anyone.
 
@Crimsion @JohnViro

I called the number and they asked for a bit of info on me. They said they couldn't find me due to that number being for the Navy and not the Army. You wouldn't happen to know a similar type number for the Army would you?
 
@SSGHooah

I do not know much about the Army side for the PEB. You would probably find out asking in the Army case timelines forum. I am sorry about that.
 
I've wondered about all the calls from the Army and Air Force. (202) 685-6422 is the number for the Navy/Marine PEB. Not sure how other services work but if you have a PEBLO they should get a daily report on the status of cases under their purview.

I will be calling the VA in 10 days to hopefully get my ratings faxed over. Its all just a waiting game now.
 
Called the VA today and had them fax over my ratings. Im at 50% DoD(most likely) and 90% VA. I still have some other claims to add on and other findings to include, but I am still pretty stoked.

1JUN18 - Findings came back at 50 DoD 90 VA.

I am going to talk to my Peblo on Monday to discuss everything. I will most likely appeal this because I was low balled on some ratings and have more medical evidence to prove my case.
