    10 MAY 23 - After inquiring, PEBLO has informed me that the PEB sent a request for "corrected" ratings to the VA. "Hoping" to hear a response withing a "week or so." Not sure what this means, but continues to add to the administrative time to get to the DA 199.

    MEB Timeline Benning

    What I meant by just having an IDES claim is that I have seen and heard many that only experience an eventual "Claim Closed" message in VA.gov. This seems to be those that are making their first claim, and many of those are Active Duty personnel. It seems as though there is not an...

    MEB Timeline Benning

    I have had success calling the VA and speaking to a representative. I have read for others in this forum that if you only have an IDES claim, that often you do not "see" anything through VA.gov. I would recommend that you call the VA and inquire about your situation. 800-827-1000 and go...

    MEB Timeline Benning

    My PEBLO states that once the ratings are received and uploaded, that the writing phase takes "about two weeks." The variability lies in the receipt and upload part as several people are in that mix. Additionally, there is a review process before the writing phase and getting to the DA 199...

    27 APR 23 - Inquired to PEBLO about the VA ratings getting to the PEB. Ratings were received, but they did not address all of the specific items / unfit conditions as some were combined with what are seen as "fit" conditions, and one item not specifically addressed. I am told that the PEB will...

    First, really glad to hear that you were able to get your medical issues addressed, sorry to hear that you had to get to the emergency situation. I would hope that you hear from the PEBLO soon and they can help you navigate the process. Wish you luck, and that you get taken care of properly.

    The way that I do it is by doing a Google Search for "check my VA claim" and then when I log into the site, it takes me right to the claim status screens. When I log in, I scroll down a bit to a section that is titled, "Your claims or appeals" What I have read and seen from others on this...

    How does VA differ from DoD ratings?

    I have similar questions about the DoD ratings and how they are calculated. Based upon my conversation with legal counsel, the similar "VA math" that is used translates to the DoD. In my case, however, I have several other conditions already determining my VA rating that are NOT being...

    My capt is wanting me to come in on Terminal leave

    I like the advice to consult your legal resource. Perhaps the Captain is really just trying to conduct an exit interview - and could be done virtually - or even trying to present some recognition for your service. Either way, your meeting could turn into a productive exercise that could...

    Tracking IDES claim

    I have found that calling the VA can give you some insight and answers, same as what @PERS-95 stated above. Some of the representatives are more knowledgeable than others, so results vary. For example, I am waiting on the same, and based upon my reading here, the most common experience seems...

    Army Reserve IDES Timeline

    Good information, thank you for the recommendations. I entered this process sort of "backwards" by filing a VA Claim after coming off of a mobilization and needing some medical care. So, I did receive a VA rating and decision then subsequently entered into the MEB, currently in the PEB phase...

    Thanks for providing the timeline. I am interested to hear about your experience, as I am in a similar situation and time frame. Are you plus or minus 20 years of service? What are your expectations?
