Hey everyone, this is my first post. I've been checking this forum almost daily because I'm losing my mind right now waiting for ratings. I know it hasn't been long, but work and certain people at work are causing me huge issues. Is anyone similar to me as far as timeline goes? I wonder how much longer IPEB is supposed to take.
My Timeline

- Start date
IPEB from what everyone says on here is the biggest hold up. I am about 2 weeks behind you right now. But there are guys from early April getting their findings back in the last few days. This may not be the answer your looking for, but it is an answer.
As crappy as it is to deal with people at work and hard as it is for you, you have to try and change your mindset about it. easier said then done. It will come to an end at some point. I would suggest talking about your case more on this thread what your conditions are etc. Sometimes talking helps go through the harder days. Just a thought.
There are people on this forum that have been waiting a 1 year+. Not saying its easy for you but considering your timeline so far try to feel fortunate you don't have 80-100 days on the QTC exams, those guys got hosed.

Thank you, I definitely appreciate the insight. Well I guess I'll talk about why I'm in the MEB. So I enlisted in the USMC in 2014 and injured my knee in boot camp. It bothered me my entire enlistment. During my time in the USMC, I went to medical nonstop for the issue. Just received X-rays and after 4 years, received a steroid injection. I got out in 2019 and joined the Army 3 weeks later. Went to Army medical in AIT and finally received an MRI. Turns out I had a torn meniscus for 5 years. Super cool. I received 2 surgeries in 2020 for my knee. I can't run anymore and that's why I'm getting medboarded.

That is correct. I imagine I won’t make it to the 30% for retirement.
Yeah the ROM will be the primary on on that one. But it sounds like your aware of that. Well I don't know where your at with the board but I would suggest getting all your medical records categorized for each condition/date etc. ready for you to turn in with a nice neat bow on each stack to say "here ya go" to the VA while also keeping copies for yourself of course.
I just finished the informal PEB stage on 6/25 and on 6/30 the VA Findings. My case was started in late March so you are almost there. When mine was finished the average days on the portal were 35 and it actually took 43 for mine to be completed. Just hang tight and you will get there! I would ask your PEBLO if the VA has any proposed ratings in DRAS, you never know.
Your PEB started in late March?
I’m 6 days behind you! I’ll keep you informed if anything changes on my end. I have a job I’m supposed to start September 27th so fingers crossed for speedy processing for us.

glad to see someone near my timeline. I feel like we’ve been speeding through this process. I’ll let you know when I hear anything.
My MEB was initiated on 24 March.
Oh wow, when did you IPEB actually start?
I will do the same. Although I will probably keep it on my timeline here

Hello all, So I started my Med Board on 5/10/21. I had to get a revised LOD. That process started June 2020 (See my other post on that mess). So really its been a long time coming. This is what I have so far. I stated this in another post as well, But when your VA MSC submits your paperwork to...
www.pebforum.com
On May 7th.
Have you received your proposed ratings yet?
The VA keeps giving me the runaround. However my PEBLO told me 80%. Didn’t know if the VA went into detail on that proposal or not.
What date did you get notice of the proposed va ratings. I’m waiting for the PEB now and not far behind you
Oh my PEBLO told me 80% when I finished the MEB
Oh when is that if you don’t mind me asking?
