I can't imagine the hellfire and brimstone that would come raining down if the Army separated someone in the IDES process under the RIF instead. The only way I can imagine that the RIF for O's would affect someone in the IDES would be if you were to be found fit but then the board saw that you had a permanent profile (even a P2) and used that to separate you. That's partially why I stuck with the MEB as opposed to trying to rebranch- thought I'd get this painful process out of the way rather than wait for the Army to start separating O's with permanent profiles.

So, just for giggles, I went to my IDES Dashboard.
A lot has changed, and I must say, provided a lot of entertainment.
Est finish date w/appeal, UNK
Est finish date no appeal, UNK
Current Step, N/A
VA Ratings complete 11/23 (same, ok)
Days Remaining, 0 -My favorite (I'm Done!!(I think NOT))
EBene doesn't fits:
Unable to provide estimated completion date (same)
Pending decision approval (same)
Open in a new window...new stuff
goes to AMEDDCMS,
and it won't let me log in or go past the login screen.
I just want my ratings so I can plan my next move. A lot is riding.
Something shiny on the horizon, train come soon...

Indeed, unfortunately, welcome to my world of the my IDES Dashboard; had similar information since the start of the aforementioned application!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."
Best Wishes!
Well if it makes you feel any better my proposed ratings were complete as of Nov. 8 and the letter was sent out the same day. Still no letter and still nothing from my PEBLO's. My proposed ratings were sent back to the PEB as of NOV 13 and still nothing. This waiting game has officially frustrated me.
Miller, yes. It does make me feel better (a bit), and so does the reflection received from Warrior. Speaking of reflections, I think Im going to call my PEBLO and MSC and reflect with them, and maybe the VA as well. No worries; my Irish nature is well-contained of late. Good Day to all.

Mine has been at the PEB for 14 days now. I hate this waiting game. I just wish they would prepare the 199 already and let me get on my way.
regarding the RIF, this is what the MEB attorney wrote me:
"Sir,
BLUF: The Army is reserving the right to separate you by a RIF, even through IDES.
This regulation says that if officers are pending certain types of AD referrals, REFRAD, referral for elimination under chapter 4, or request for separation, resignation, or retirement in lieu of elimination (poor performance), dual processing occurs.
The regulation also says the exception is when the AD board is convened as a result of a RIF. That brings us back to the "separation or retirement for reasons other than those indicated above, physical disability takes precedence if the officer is retained with consent" language. A reduction in force is not retention with consent. The Army has to reserve the right to separate you when it deems necessary through a RIF; however, timing-wise you should be able to medically retire before that happens or convey to the RIF board that your medical retirement is imminent, if that’s the case.
You are not sure if your year group will be considered and you haven’t received any notice. I wouldn’t take any action until you actually receive notice."
Not exactly what I was hoping to hear and I really wonder how this would affect those with serious combat injuries undergoing the process.

My ebenefits has changed to Preperation for Decision. This is the first status change seance June 6th. So what should I be expecting as far as timeline. Also would there be any ratings?
Timeline
190 days total
118 at VA ratings

Can you imagine the headline though if the Army decided to take someone who was in line to receive disability benefits and instead separated them under RIF? Every news agency in the country would pick up on this story and Congress would open an investigation. There's a story right now on military.com talking about how the Navy has been separating injured service members under a vague "Condition not a disability" regulation, even though some of those servicemembers might qualify for the IDES.
It was 20 days total not buisness days right? Thanks
anyone with a Aug/Sep unfit memo in the Review of evidence, or preparation for decision phase right now? I see a lot of Junes popping up but not to many may cases ,although one guy in my unit finished in may and is gone.
I have an August unfit memo date, still in Review of evidence.
It's going to be awhile for you. I'm 25 July unfit memo and I'm at 128 days in the ratings. Told by my peblo should be a week or two before I hear something. Been in prep for decision for 5 weeks now.
Got my official paperwork and final out date. 25 February, start clearing on the 13th and out on the 30th.
I am also 25 July unfit and I havent moved from Gathering Evidence. Hopefully your PEBLO is right.

This is my first post, looking for a little information. My husband is being medically retired with 40 percent from the army and 60 percent from the VA. My question is, will he receive Military Retired Pay from the army until his VA payments start which they said would be about 90 days after his last day in the army?

It depends if he chooses VA or DOD pay. I know in my case my DOD retirement was higher. My VA with 60% was going to be $1200. My DOD retirement as an E6 with 8.5 years is $1750. I know with taking DOD pay, I will get my money within 2 weeks to a month of separation, so hopefully no lapse in pay. VA is said to take between 2-3 months. But you do not receive both, it is one or the other. You are given back pay for VA though from the date eligible.
