Good question. The PDA has had my 199 since 07 SEP, and my PEBLO and OMBUDSMAN are checking the status and to see if they can speed it up (I'm supposed to be starting a position on Post with a contractor this month, hmmmm lol ). I called the PDA directly last week, and after receiving the...

I'm right there with you all, day 88 waiting for my DA-199!! I've spoken to my PEBLO, JAG, and OMBUDSMAN. JAG and PEBLO keep saying be patient as system was down earlier this summer and the PEB is extremely backed up. The OMBUDSMAN told me that if I get a job offer letter she can send it to the...

Great, thank you!

My PEBLO forwarded me a copy of a memo sent from the PEB to the VA requesting ratings as they have found me unfit for continued service due to my 2 referred conditions. I'm assuming this is the "unfit memo" that people ask about. Seems that the PEBLO should be able to get a copy of this...

I'm at JBLM, how long did it take for the VA to do ratings and get back to PEB? The PEB memo went to the VA on April 7th, this wait is starting to get to me. Just sucks with trying to line up jobs and all, I know we're all in same boat.

Ok, so hopefully with the radiculopathy you should reach 30 or 40%. As discussed in early posts, sometimes it's something that has to be fought with JAG's help, but it's worth the fight! Have you received your narsum and C&P exams yet?

The back ratings are ridiculous!!! How about radiculopathy?

Thank you Bigsink, it's appreciated. The NARUSM included both my PTSD and back issues as NOT meeting retention standards. Today I meet with JAG, and then I can sign off on the NARSUM with my PEBLO and keep things moving. In terms of my back, from the ROM measurements (forward flexion at 60 or...

My PEBLO just called to ask me to come in this afternoon for my NARSUM counseling. On Monday I received a new P3 for my behavioral conditions (initiated by the MED doctors), so thinking I may not have to worry about getting 30% or more for retirement now. I'll be curious to see how the back...

Hi, this link and website has great information on how conditions are rated- military disability made easy http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/mentaldisorders.html#anxiety It's a long read, but has good info and examples. The ratings primarily deal with how much occupational and social...

I was told that a medical retirement/separation cancels the ADSO, and the benefits will be there. Ill pull up the reg on Monday, but you should be good to go.

Thank you so much! They just informed me that my exams were completed and sent back on March 10th...I just e-mailed my PEBLO so she can be on the look-out for them, and maybe reach out to the MSC (or maybe I should?). Take care.

Thank you both, I didn't know we can call for an update...calling now, I'm only number 57 in the call que, lol.

Good Afternoon All, Was just curious about timelines for QTC to get C&P Exams turned in. I completed my 3 exams with them 4 weeks ago, and my PEBLO said they're still waiting to get them back. Is this normal...ugh the waiting is so frustrating, yet trying my best to practice patience :) On a...
