The percentage dictates whether or not you are separated from the military with a severance pay or retired (as if you did 20 years). With 50%, it's as if you did 20 years and left the military. This also means that you will have full benefits of TriCare as if you were a retiree, you will have...

This is what I know about ratings. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Your package will go from Medical Evaluation Board from local clinic to determine if you need to go through IDES process. Once they determine that you do, you will go through various tests to determine the validity of...

Sorry about the long wait for my reply. I actually did get my orders. I have been significantly busy with my move after getting my orders. I also started a new job, so it has been consuming a lot of my time. Nevertheless, this was my timeline in acknowledging my finding and getting orders...

From what I've been told, PEB will be done with my file and close out my case early next week at the latest. Once that happens, PERS-82 will finish up their thing and send out the release notice to PSD and my command (it takes them a day or two to do that). PSD will write up my orders at that...

I'm in the same boat rowing with you. I do not know where your file is processed from, but my PEB took place in Walter Reed. I signed for my findings December 30th. I called a Commander at PEB and spoke to him about my status. He looked up my file on his computer and told me that, even...

Let me give you some examples and see if it clears things up (others can correct me if I'm wrong). This is what was told to me at VA and my physician. DoD rating is typically lower. That is because DoD rating is only for your referred condition. For example: Let's say you were in battle and...

Nice! Congrats. I got really frustrated about not getting my orders that I gave a Commander at PEB a call. Very helpful person who sounds compassionate and willing to go above and beyond to answer our questions. He informed me that, although I signed for my findings 30 December 2015, they...

Today marks my 28th day since I signed for my findings/ratings with no orders.

Congrats, Crazy Pants. Did your PEB get processed through Walter Reed? I'm not sure if everyone gets their PEB processed from a single point or not. It seems like Walter Reed is holding mine up.

Right on. I'm on my 4th week and still nothing. A little upset that it's taking such a long time. Did you pick a date when accepting your finding? And can you leave anytime before your separation date?

DR_DeJesus13 has your separation orders come through and how long did it take? I signed for my findings December 30th and 26 days later, I still haven't heard anything yet in regards to my separation orders.

I found out that I had a medical condition that will render me unfit for duty. I am in the Navy stationed in East Coast. My file was sent down to Walter Reed for IPEB. VA Rating was conducted in Providence VA hospital. Below is my timeline. July 30, 2015: Found out I may be unfit. August...

I feel your pain. The waiting game sucks so much. I have been waiting for the most part during the duration of my case. I am now at the point where I signed for my findings and acknowledged the ratings (Signed 30 Dec 2015). The PEB Board is still sitting and hasn't issued an index number for...

I'm still waiting on my separation orders. I signed my findings for unfit December 30, 2015 and as of today (Jan 25, 2016) I haven't heard anything yet. I called the point of contact for release message at PERS-82 but they haven't received anything from PEB. Once they get the release index...
