(206) 341-8267

It's Seattle VA, my paper work is actually at the Sea Tac office cause its a med board. I didn't get to much information but I was able to getting out of him that my proposed ratings are done but can't tell me what they are and have me I should be out in 90 days.

 

[lakenorman]

I called but they said they didn't have my POA? Can I send them a 21-22a?

Yeah I faxed it to them and uploaded one on ebenefits for good measures. It only takes a few min to fill out.

 

[lakenorman]

Would you happen to know their Fax #?

 

[Dickie G]

I hate this system told today by the VA that my proposed ratings are done. So I contacted my MSC and he said that there is nothing yet. Why is there a horrible disconnect with this process.

fax 206-220-4171

Make sure it's the VA form 21-22, I sent the wrong one the first time. It's Feb 2012 is the latest.

Well, I am just starting out my MEB and this doesn't look like to much fun I was supposed to ETS in April of this year...

Friday I was told by my msc that my proposed ratings are in but she couldnt tell me what they were. Hopefully I get my 199 soon. Frustrating knowing they have something but cant share the info

I feel your pain, I was told that my proposed ratings are done by the VA and my MSC does not see any ratings.

Because it's a possibility of them being changed prior to you getting your 199, there covering there own ass from telling you your ratings and then when they come in they be different, ratings rarely change one it hits back to PEB but it's always a possibility,

What's up Combat Eng you might know the answer to this. If I do have proposed ratings and that they are waiting on the board to do their part. What kind of time frame should I be looking at to get my ratings back from the board? Thanks

That is understandable. As long as it doesn't take forever to get the "offical" ratings. Now im just getting impatient after all this waiting.

So what will come in that will get me out if the official ones come after seperation?

 

[ffjeff319]

Yes, still waiting.

Well my days remaining got down all the way to 212 with possible finish date of 4/28/2014. Now it's back up to 253 days remaining and no clue when this will be done. Way longer and terrible being guard or reserve in this process.

Ebenefit's is only useful when someone updates it and pretty much a no in my case.

 

[Shay's Red]

It stinks. Spouse has had to extend multiple times to allow the medical board to complete. His ID was set to expire and due to the weather he couldn't renew it before it did. Now there is a problem with being able to renew it due to they "can't see his orders to extend in the system". Can he bring a copy with him? "Well they have to be official orders so no. . " Is this going to affect our insurance? "I dunno"

Sigh. . .

Five years have passed since his first permanent profile. Three PEBLOs later. Six months since being found unfit and being sent to the VA. Pending decision approval for almost a month now, and still waiting for any movement.

What can we do?

"Wait some more"

Sigh.
