Hey everyone,
I'm U.S. Army AD. This forum was very instrumental to me throughout the entire IDES process, so I figured that sharing my timeline may help answer someone's question(s) with regards to IDES/MEB/VA timeline and process.
TIMELINE:
12/18/2018 - MEB initiated with three P3 profiles
12/20/2018 - Initial Counseling and PEBLO Assignment
12/21/2018 - MSC Counseling
01/06/2019 - 01/31/2018 - C&P Exams
02/20/2019 - NARSUM signed
03/13/2019 - Found unfit by PEB
03/15/2019 - VA received PEB claims
04/30/2019 - PCM provided an emergency letter to VA and PEB to expedite my claims
05/03/2019 - VA sent a clarification letter to my C&P examiner (to clarify a few things he documented on my C&P exams)
05/06/2019 - C&P examiner submitted the requested clarification information to the VA (My GEN MED C&P examiner is the BEST)
05/13/2019 - Claim closed on VA.gov
05/15/2019 - PEB received VA rating
05/30/2019 - PEBLO Counseling/Election (received rating, concurred and signed 199 (DOD 80% PDRL and VA 100% T&P)
PEBLO assured me that my LOR will be available in the next 48 hours.
This process has been a tough one but through it all, patience pulled me through. It took roughly about 5 months and 2 weeks from MEB referral to signing 199. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions and/or concerns.
Good luck everyone.
