Just another thread for timeline tracking purposes. I'm a 20 year active duty, prior enlisted officer that has a commitment to about 23.5 yrs. Hence the MEB at 20 and not just retiring normally. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll post as the information comes in.
Nellis/Creech IDES Timeline
- Thread starter USAF_Erik
- Start date
What to expect when meeting with the VA MSC? I go on the 5th to meet with him.
Mine basically explained how the VA side works and what to expect. He went over the 21-526EZ form with me and asked a bunch of questions to see what I should claim for my VA disability. I have 17 "conditions" listed on mine based on my medical records and his questions. He forwards that form to one of the 3 contractors that perform the C&P exams and said they should call me early next week to start scheduling my exams.
Your MSC should have also emailed you a VBA 21-686c form to fill out. If you have dependents, that's how they are put in the VA system so you get paid the correct amount.
Cool I was just at Nellis a month ago staying in the inn. I went to Nascar randomly. How is the weather. That gym you have there is nice. What was your job in the Air Force?
Your process is flying now! Have you gotten your ratings yet? What are your next steps?
No I haven't. My PEBLO needs to send everything to the MEB now, I think? Couldn't that take up to 20 days?
I don't know, she confused me with the call yesterday. Said she submitted the DBQ's to the local MTF so they decide what is considered unfitting for the board, or something along those lines. So is that the MEB? Or is that just the local MTF deciding what conditions are "potentially" unfitting to send to the MEB? Was a little confused.
But yes, everything has been going fast and I hope it continues. I'm over 20 active and just want to retire....
My results came in late Friday, 29 May but the PEBLO couldn't meet before end of day. I hope you hear back before Friday. This process has been pretty quick but at the same time not quick enough for me.
Is it like from FSS or your peblo saying it was submitted?
PEBLO emailed me on the 2nd of June saying she submitted. Today was the actual FSS email saying they received everything and are reviewing for accuracy before the IPEB.
