Would anyone know or would like to share, how long after your official final out day, did it take for the VA to begin paying Compensation? Currently I am looking at retiring the 23rd of November and wanted to know if by 1st January I would get my first Compensation payment. Also, a MSC said...

Nvm, I hit TRANSPOC! 199 signed on 16 August Hit TRANSPOC 22 September

Hitting the TRANSPOC list means PDA approved the orders and now it's up to HR MPD to cut the actual orders?

I called the PDA today and one of the NCO's who worked there said that currently they are caught up to all of June cases and have started working with July's. She couldnt go more in depth as how into July's cases they were in. This should provide a somewhat timetable for those who signed their...

Although this is true, that section of the form is not for the requesting SM to fill out. That is for S-1 personnel to compute AFTER the leave is done, which period of time it was chargeable. We on the 1 shop follow multiple regs and policies that an everyday Joe may not be aware of when...

I am an HR NCO and have ran multiple BN S-1's. There is no correct way to do the DA31. The people who would care the most is finance and as long as there is no gaps, they could care less. The 1 leave form vs 2 debate is all up to unit standards and ow commanders want to see things. You can...

You can only sell 60 days of leave your entire career. The separation date on your orders will be 90 days from the day PDA cuts the orders. If you truly want to be out as soon as possible, take all the leave you have accrued plus the "up to 20 PTDY" if you are applicable. Besides that, it...

Another update: I got my ratings today: 50% Army 80% VA 50% PTSD 50% Flat Foot / Plantar Fasciitis 10% Scars 10% Lower Back Pain 10% Bronchitis 10% Narcolepsy With a bunch of 0%'s Will be signing my 199 tomorrow and hopefully it takes less than 45 days for me to get my orders as this whole...

To be honest, I stopped looking at the Vets.gov status since it barely does anything for me until I leave the service. I email my PEBLO bi-weekly just to keep tabs and it seems to be working. I saw today that I am on the PEB Findings portion. Day 7 out of 12 with a total of 100 days since the...

Quick update, The PEB found me unfit for duty on the 21st of July and it went to VA ratings that same day. It took 33 days for the IPEB to do their thing although the PEBLO said that the Army took forever to do so and she had to cal because it was on limbo.

Mine has the same status. All it means for people going through MEB is just that your ratings wise are pending to go to the VA section gmthat rates you the minute the PEB says you are unfit for duty. My timeline got updated and it now reflects my packet at the IPEB which it shows that it has...

I don't know if I lucked out with this PEBLO or if West Point just doesn't have a big case load.

It took exactly 6 days for my NARSUM to be typed up and for me to sign it and resubmit it.

So today I got an email from the PEBLO with my MEB referral and NARSUM. That was quick! The MEB Physician said that 2 out of 15 conditions did not meet retention and that the packet should continue to the PEB. This is what I was expecting so I signed the form and sent it to the PEBLO within...
