I received my orders today. May 28th will be my last day in the Air Force. Once again, I feel very fortunate that the Air Force is taking care of me without a huge battle. :) Thanks! As far as I know, I am not eligible for CRDP because I am not retirement eligible in my own right outside of...

The Easter Bunny brought me a very nice present today. I signed for my ratings!!! 70% DoD PDRL, 90% VA. My PEBLO says I should have orders nlt end of next week, and I'll be out the door on ptdy and leave right around 1 May. I'm so glad the Air Force is taking care of me during this tough time. :)

That's the right number. It does go to a weird voicemail box (public contact or something). Just keep calling. The two people I've had answer it are Paul and Sheryl.

Today's update: nobody will tell me my proposed ratings. PEBLO, MSC, providence, nobody. Argh! Looks like I'll be waiting for the PEB to make a call on disposition. Hopefully that goes quickly.

Well that was quick. Historical claim appeared today w/status of decision letter sent, open claim says pending decision approval. I'm trying to get providence or OAC to tell me my ratings ASAP so I can begin to plan... Edit: Providence confirms the proposed ratings are in but wouldn't tell me...

Ebennies changed to prep for decision today. Hopefully I'll know more by the end of the week.

Looks like you've pulled ahead of me quite a bit now! Did you get your ratings? I'm still waiting with no news. Ebennies still says gathering of evidence with an expected completion date of oct 2016-oct 2017. I went ahead and pushed the "decide my claim now" button yesterday. No idea what...

Update: so I called the Providence number and spoke to a very kind gentleman who informed me that they had received my unfit memo from AFPC on 8 March! So now I'm waiting for ratings and such, but what a relief to have closure on that part. More to come. As of yesterday, eBenefits still showed...

Not yet. Who do I call? I see providence mentioned often. Is there a specific number/path through the phone tree?

One more quick thing, this afternoon my med hold was approved for 6 months. Hopefully I won't need all that, but we'll see!

Quick (non)update today... I've been getting super anxious about the wait so I tried calling AFPC to see if I could sneak a peek at whether my case had been looked at by the IPEB yet. Nope - they punted me right back to my PEBLO, who is less than helpful and more than sick of me. Oh well. I'll...

That's where I was too! I was also inpatient there for a bit (7 West). Lovely experience, that. Anyways. I definitely have the same concerns as you, especially since I'm far from my support system and I'm stuck extending to finish this mess up. Keep us posted on how your board goes and I'll be...

I may need to get a hobby... It's not even noon and I've checked it like 7 times today already. Lol. I keep coming back and rereading your timeline and attempting to find hope in the fact that it went so quickly for you and we are almost on the same submission timeline. I, too, am so ready to be...

I went to an IOP too, last summer. Where were you? On my 618 none of my referred conditions are checked as "existed prior to service". I'm not sure if that's something the IPEB will actually rule on, but that's at least what it is from the IRILO/MEB perspective.

Well that was fast. Congrats. I signed my 618 a week before you and I'm still waiting...but I'm hoping for a quick turnaround like yours because I can't take all this waiting in limbo stuff much longer :( I'm gonna keep stalking eBenefits daily until I see something new. Today it changed from...

Well that's disheartening... although I have a 10 year history, and the MEB rated my impairment as severe for all 3 unfitting conditions. I honestly just want to be done, either way, so I can try to get myself right for the long term instead of this limbo I'm trapped in right now :(

Hi folks. I've been in the IDES process for a while now and thought I'd share my experience. Lurking around here has given me a lot of knowledge of this difficult and opaque process. Long story short, I've got 3 referred conditions, as listed above. I've been struggling to function and using the...
