I know that this is the PEB forum, so I thank anyone who can answer my question since I am not going through a PEB. I was already med boarded and had added a few additional items to my claim during the year following my separation. All together there are 5 additional items. On Ebenefits...

Awesome, thanks! Apparently mine came through, but my hold up is now my CoC giving me my separation counseling. I hope I can clear next week. Congrats and thank you!

Anybody have recent Active Duty TRANSPROC times? My 199 was signed and returned to the PEB yesterday. I'm hoping I can be on the road heading home by May 21st. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Just to let you know, I just got 40% DoD for bilateral compartment syndrome. It was my only unfitting condition as well. I had a bunch of similar VA claims too and ended up with 90%

Thanks @Combat Eng - I wasn't getting a very clear explanation from my PEBLO.

I have a similar question. I got 40% Army, 90% VA. So the Army "retirement pay" is showing $895 a month. At 90% VA, I'd get $1,980 a month. So can I choose the VA money? Does that mean I'm waiving my TRICARE and blue ID Card? I'm very confused, plus after reading my 199, I'm convinced they...

So I just got my proposed ratings - 40% DoD, 90% VA. 101 days since unfit, 280 days total. I'm really surprised, I got a way higher percentage on both than I was expecting. The funny thing is that my ebennies never updated. To this day it still says evidence requested is past due. So...

Dang Man, that's fast! I have 1 unfit, 12 total and I figured pretty simple. Congrats again!

billme, Congrats on moving along!! When was your unfit date? I've been stuck at gathering of evidence/evidence requested past due for 90+ days and I can't get ahold of my MSC... Frustrating

Billyballs and Warrior644 - Thank you! I got the same answer from my PEBLO that anyone gets - between 2 to 9 months. I've only ever spoken to the MSC once when I was doing my claims. My only concern with the whole thing is that Ebennies says "requested evidence past due - Development letter...

Long time lurker, first time posting. Congrats to those reaching the end and thanks to all those who provide great information and advice! I have a question. I'm at 72 days with the VA in Seattle, but my ebennies still says Gathering of Evidence, Evidence requested is past due. I'm going...
