It always feels like for those of us in this area, it takes way too much time for everything to process, I just found out on Monday I was found unfit, my VA claims have been with the VA since June last year, and I still in the decision phase.
If it is who I think it is then brace yourself or maybe I could be wrong and he's working faster, on his defense, the previous MEBAA kinda screw him over with months worth of unsigned cases but I hope it gets better for you.
It is going to be in the decision phase till your NARSUM is signed and submitted to PEB, hopefully, it get signed quickly cos It took 4 months for the Portsmouth MEBAA to sign my NArsum, if it wasn't for that I would've been done by now since Mar 2024.
Bro my process is still at PEB infact it was sent last month, I finally spoke to Jeff yesterday and he said they're waiting for the va, someone had told me to call the white house va line since my claims have been sitting at the va since June, man at this point I'm exhausted.
I don't know your branch, but my med board started in March. The final MEBAA was signed in September, only for it to go back to IMR now. I don't know when it'll end, probably next year, but they do that sometimes.
I am Navy by the way
