My IDES timeline

@coffeybeaan they disappeared right after my board went to PEB and the VA support line can’t tell me anything other than decision phase.. I’m at almost 50 days since I was found unfit.
 
Made an appt with VERA and they told me absolute nonsense.. that the VA could not process my claims until I get my separation orders and am off active duty but I told her 4 times that’s not how IDES works and I need the percentages before I can get orders.. SO IRRITATING.

Same boat…nothing on the website, decision phase when I call. It’s been with the va since Nov 7…

Yeah I’m getting frustrated that no one can actually tell me where my stuff is.. or even if I have been assigned a rating officer..

I feel both of you I’ve been at the VA since Oct 31st and I’m still waiting for my findings to comeback from the VA.

God I hope mine doesn't take long.. My EAOS was yesterday... lol On Dec.5, 2022 DoD had their decision but according to my peblo they have to "wait" until the VA has their decision before they can tell me... DoD should release their findings/% so my command can start out processing...
 
Does anyone know how to schedule an appointment with VERA? Do I just go on the VA website? I want to try them and see if I can get better info, I really think the people on the normal help line have no clue what they’re doing. Everytime I tell them I’m going through the IDES process and they say you need to submit ur DD214 for your process to move forward and I just hang up on them.

I just googled VERA VA and found it. It was not helpful for me though, they were not familiar with IDES and told me they needed my DD-214, just a heads up.

You were right, Vera told me they wouldn’t have access to see it, that the IDES process is separate and I need to hound my MSC for answers. Lol I’m starting to lose all hope.
 
“Your claim is still pending with the rating board. I do not have a timeline for you as this is done by the DRAS in Providence. However your claim is at
the last stage of our process. Its taking awhile for most service members right now. Your exams were provided to your peblo on 9-2-2022 so if you want
that info you can seek it from your peblo. Sorry I can't provide more
information at this time.” This is what I got from my MSC today, last stage of our process ? Assuming that just means I’m waiting for a rating.

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me.. the long waiting game. My PEBLO gave me the "we are at the mercy of the VA" speech and he would let me know when they hear something but could not give me a time frame or any kind of guidance.
 
My case was sent to the PEB ON December 27, and was notified by my PEBLO that my case was with the VA after I emailed her asking for an update.

Can anyone shed light on how long it should take to get a decision from this point?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mine was sent on September 22 and I still haven’t received anything. So I would plan on 4-5 months.
 
Mine was sent September 17 and all of my ratings are complete just waiting on my da199 I believe to accept and should get the form by the end of the week (20 Jan)then request orders. Keep your heads up and keep bugging your peblos for updates everyday if you have to.
