I understand that, and you helped clarify some of these questions recently (the DoD pay until VA kicks in) on another post I had. I guess to generalize all of those situations I stated above, I am trying to understand how the preliminary ratings that allow chapter 61 retirees to retire are...

Trying to understand how all of these work together, because so far I haven't gotten a straight answer. I went through IDES and was medically retired w/ my DRAS preliminary ratings (50% DoD, 60% VA). Right now I am receiving my monthly DoD pay at 50%. Once I receive my finalized ratings, which...

That's what I thought. For more clarity, and this is my fiancee's situation. Her 40% PDRL rating would be a little less than 1K, but 100% VA rating $2800 (est.). Would DOD pay each month after separation the $1k, until VA final ratings, then VA pays full $2800.. or would she receive $2800...

Anyone know the right answer to this? Rated at 40% army and 100% VA. VA amount higher than 40% of base pay, therefore elect to receive the VA amount. So far, everyone in the system (Peblo, va rep, etc.) is saying that there will be a delay of pay (45-90) days until the VA finalizes the...

Haven't posted my updates in a bit since everything started moving fast but here it is: MEB Started: 17 Sep 12 QTC Complete: 31 Oct 12 Narsum signed: 14 Mar 13 PEB unfit memo: 14 Mar 13 DA 199: 28 Jun 13 Signed DA 199: 1 Jul 13 NLT date received: 2 Jul 13 Orders Cut for transition: 10 Jul 13

My ebenefits went back to gathering of evidence and "requesting separation documents". I'm assuming this means my ratings are done? My PEBLO says the VA tracking system still doesn't show my ratings were completed. Should I be expecting them soon? Was wondering if anyone had any insight...

Mine hit Prep For Decision late May. It just changed to Pending Decision Approval on 17 June. I'm hoping (and guessing) that I'm almost done. Heres to hoping.. also thanks for the advice and help to all.

about to hit day 100 since unfit was sent to Seattle DRAS and still no help from the PEBLO. Seriously losing my patience. It would be nice to know something, if anything. My ebennies changed to prep for decision already but still no word. Freaking awesome.. if anyone knows how I can see if...

This is what I don't understand and maybe someone can comment on... why does it appear that the idea of VA "scams" and false claims are constantly brought up to a level that seems to be absurd? I completely agree that any VA scam or any veteran that intentially claims and receives compensation...

From what I've gathered from others on here, that is a pretty good sign that your ratings are complete and most likely sent to the PEB. Apparently, in a lot of cases, your ebenny's will drop back to "Gathering of Evidence" and show "Requesting Separation Documents" when this happens. I would...

ebennies went to prep for decision today finally. 78 days after unfit memo sent to seattle dras

Nice. I feel ya, I'll be doing the same.

I was curious with that. So I take you don't have to take up to the 90 days they give you? I wanted to clear and final as soon as possible once I'm able to and start my terminal leave. I was hoping this was the case.
