Does dfas still send confirmation emails when you send in all the info to request taxes back? My husband sent in everything 5 weeks ago and he hasn't received an email or anything. He was told to email everything and it would be taken care. No news since. Also I seen where a previous post had...

My husband is eligible to receive his taxes back from his severance pay. Wondering what everyone's timeline has been for that. Of course he was told the standard 60 to 90 days. However, the lady also told him it usually takes a lot less time then that. He called dfas a few days after sending his...

Thanks. He's now waiting on orders. They said 6 weeks and its been 2 weeks. It's creeping by.

I hope it's around 14 working days. Sooner would be nice but know that's doubtful. Also, really hoping orders do not take month.

He went to see his MSC, who of course was unavailable, just like his PEBLO is always unavailable. He was able to see a different MSC and his ratings are done! Now just have to wait on the PEB. Glad to know he is just waiting for his 199 and then orders. Even if it's going to be a while longer...

If my husband's ebenefits went from "pending decision approval" back to "gathering of evidence",what does that mean? He called the Va the other day and they said it's in the last stages just waiting to be approved. But now that it's back at "gathering of evidence", I'm wondering if it's going to...

My hudband's weny to the VA Dec. 7th. His ebenefits says pending decision approval but he won't call the VA or his MSC to see if his ratings have been sent back to the PEB. He only calls his PEBLO, who never answers and the other Peblo he speaks to doesn't know what's going on. It frustrates me...

Anyone?

My husband's ebenefits changed to pending decision approval yesterday. He tried to call his Peblo to see what she could see. Of course, she didnt answer. He called his original Peblo and asked him to look. He pulled up my hudband's case and said he thought the VA would have been done with the...

I completely understand why you say that. Then again everyone he knows that's being medically discharged are getting their 199 back fast. Never hurts to hope and I have plenty of hope. But if it doesn't happen, no big deal. He'll still be receiving a paycheck so no worries.

I agree that ebenefits is worthless to some. My husband's hasn't changed past the gathering evidence stage either. He found out he is unfit about 2 weeks ago. I don't know what timeline you would be looking at but he was told he should be out by mid January for sure. We're located at Fort Riley...

Ok. Thanks eagleone and Sascha!
