Once your case goes to the VA you know you where found unfit. Your peblo should be able to tell you if you've been assigned a rater. I has to call mine multiple times to finally get it out of him.
I am currently going through a MEB. Today, my case closed on VA.gov. My case is being sent over to the DOD for their ratings. How long does it take to hear back from the DOD? Just want to manage my expectations.

We have to look out for each other. Honestly no one else really supports us. This process is a bitch and takes forever. Fingers crossed for you to find out your ratings sooner rather than later.
The biggest question you need to ask your peblo is if your case has a rater. My case went up to the va on Oct 27. I have yet to be assigned a rater. Also VeteransBenifits on reddit is a great place to also ask this question. May the odds be ever in your favor
The biggest thing is checking Tricare Tol and seeing when your exams get uploaded. I did my exam through OPTUM and had them push my results after sitting with them for over 30 days. Once they are all posted contact your VA rep to do a finalization and send to peblo for signature.
Your PEBLO can look up to see if your claim has a rater or not. I was told I'm ready for decision by the VA. My PEBLO said my case doesn't even have rater yet. My case got to the VA 27 Oct. Very frustrating to hear my case has gotten no were.
I had to call LHI/OPTUM to have them push my exam through after 45 days. I'm not sure if they are the ones who did your exam, but if they are I'd give them a call.
