What are the claims labeled ? I.e. Does one say "IDES" and one say "compensation"? It could really mean anything. The raters are looking at it, they sent one off, etc. Unfortunately ebenfits doesn't act logical a lot of the time.

Yes the VA won't have your package if you were found "fit". Also a finding of fit and you'll hear back from the board in about two weeks from the time it's accepted. The longer it takes the better, in what weird logic that makes sense.

For whatever reason they don't like to give to anything. I know I saw my "IDES" claim open up in Ebenefits, my local PEBLO told me as well as my Sr. Chief that I was found "unfit". The main PEBLO wouldn't say anything. And no you don't get paid Severence until you are out. I didn't get my last...

Timelines are really hit or miss. Unfortunately it's hard to gauge when your package will come back if you compare it to others here. That being said and based on your above timeline it seems you are awaiting the PEB's determination of unfit or fit. Is that the case? PEBLO's don't like to tell...

Yes please keep us updated!

I really couldn't say without knowing your case. I hope you get what you wanted regardless!

That means it was sent back to the PEB. You should be hearing back what your findings are soon. (Soonish)

Of course it always depends on your personal situation and how long you wish to drag it out. Vocational Rehabilitaion, basically really similar to the GI Bill but you don't have to use the GI Bill while using it, you need a certain VA percentage, 20 or 30, I'd have to look. Pays you a stipend...

Firstly congratulations ! Secondly, Trust me I know all about just wanting it to be over with. I was on med hold for two years. Keep in mind that you have a year after separation in which the VA will backdate any claims or appeals you make and they also assume it's all service connected. If...

You always have something to claim, trust me. Some examples could be Headaches, joint pain, can't sleep, anxiety, irregular bowl movements, acne, the list goes on and on. If I were you I would be making Appts for various things, just a suggestion though. I would hate to see anyone leave the...

Awesome! Congrats!

You should argue that they aren't. I would also highly advise to claim a lot more. If you appeal anything while still in service it will prolong the process greatly, so it depends on what you have going on, but I would make sure the VA will be taking care of you for life.

PEBLO's are secretive form no reason it's so annoying. Right that's a VA rating, but is that what the VA rated your "unfitting condition"? Or is that your combined overall rating for ALL your claimed conditions ? Basically did you claim more than what you were put on a med board for? Hopefully...

Is that your unfitting condition ? Or your overall rating from all your claimed conditions with the VA?

They typically give you a 30-90 day window. I requested 90 so I could fully use my PTAD and terminal leave. It just depends what you have going on really so request what works best for you.
