Can we request one or the other? I might be facing med board soon, and I'd rather have the "shorter time" if that's a possibility.depends if your on the IDES (shorter time) or the Legacy (very lond time) MEB system... and yes it varies, there is no set timeline since every case is different
Do you happen to have any idea how long this takes from start to finish? Am I looking at six months? A year?jessica you would fall under the IDES, for a new MEB/PEB
My PEBLO called about this on Monday. The AF FEB said that once they recieve the ratings back, if they agree then it would be 2-3 weeks before the base would receive the package. Basically they have to get the paperwork togeather, and the VA does too, before it can be released to you. Hope that helpswas told proposed rating complete 22 march? Anyone know how much longer

So, if I'm understanding things correctly, I need to submit me VA claims at the same time my med board is going through? I'm not in that big of a hurry, really.Jessica D. the more claims you make and the more difficult they are, it takes a bit more time to come up with ratings and more appointments... By any means DO NOT deny filing a bunch of claims now, it may take alot of red tape to get your claims posted and evaluated after you seperate if you have a bunch of them...
if peb agrees with the va you should hear from them soon, try calling the dc medboards and ask them about the status on your case 202-685-6419
iam USN, va rcieved claim feb 8. proposed rating done 16mar. 26mar dc recived. 2Apr recieved my finding from peblo
I also used this number and they said my package was sent to the VA April 3rd! Is that definitely an unfit then?Thank you so much Zachtorg for posting this number. I was able to call and find out that my package was sent to the VA rating board on 16 March, thus meaning I have been found unfit! Thank you so much, it gives my wife and I peace of mind to know we'll be able to move on with our lives very soon.
It was a very nice lady who, I am reasonably sure, was not a robot. I sent my PEBLO an email asking if I can reasonably assume I've been found unfit since the va has a preliminary rating and she said yes. Awesome. Hope it helps you!Marducci I think if the VA has the packet it must be unfit cause they do the ratings for that. Im not 100% but pretty sure about it. Good Luck! Is that number an automated system or do you actually speak to a person?
