You should call. Each PEBLO has A LOT of cases (mine had over 200) - so it is hard for them to "monitor" and reach out with so much stuff going on.

This is progress, though, so that is good news!

I sense and feel your frustration. For me, there have been some good aspects of the process, but many disjointed parts as well. One thing that might be helpful is to inform your PEBLO of the pending employment opportunity and request an expedited process. I have not tried this, but I have...

Got it, I responded to your message. Hope I was helpful. I am still a bit confused on all of this as well.

Experiences vary, as you may have read from others. There are considerations for the amount of leave time, calculation of service time and the like. Mine took less than a week, with an effective date about 30 days after the order publication date.

My claim closed on va.gov on April 19th, and the results were sent to the PEB on April 20th. My PEB portion took longer because the PEB wanted a "correction" to the ratings as they did not exactly line up with the terminology that the MEB/PEB framed them. The VA never gave a response, and then...

I just received my DA 199 on Friday. I have a legal review/counseling today, and I expect to concur with everything. 80% DoD / 100% VA for me. Then, I am told to expect an order within "2-3 weeks." Not sure on how the effective date will work out. I am Army Reserve, so no leave, TDY, or...

Mine is taking two months since the PEB received my ratings, and my PEBLO has not disclosed any proposed or possible DoD ratings, and strangely will not confirm my VA ratings - which I received on April 20th. I only get, "Didn't you alredy receive them from the VA?" Kind of weird.

Yeah, I have had several instances where something seemed to be initiated or sent immediately following a phone call or other follow up. People are people.

Congratulations! I am not sure how long your process will last, but I have been waiting since April 20th for the PEB portion to wrap up in the "writing phase" and anticipating my DA 199 this week. This would be the third consecutive week that my PEBLO has told me that she anticipates my DA 199...

That is quite a wait. Good for you, though, and thank you for the information!

Short answer is yes, that it does say 5 days. But, at the heading of this section is that these are stage "goals." Section 6.1.a. states that "The goal is for the DoD and VA to complete 80 percent of all Service member cases in no more than 180 days, starting from the date of referral to the...
