    New VA Program in Corpus Christi?

    Yes, I think Jason has it right on this one. The Benefits Delivery at Discharge is a great program from everything I've heard about it. It doesn't sound like the DES pilot program I'm in because I don't think they have expanded it beyond the DC region yet.

    TIMELINE: MEB THROUGH PEB

    Wow, that seems pretty fast considering how long everything else in this lengthy process takes. Good luck in the future!

    That is not right what is going on for your case. I know the PEBLO has the ability to contact your case manager at the PEB. Sounds like you are just getting the run around.

    TIMELINE: MEB THROUGH PEB

    Purple, I am curious to see how long it takes AFPC to cut your retirement orders. I've heard different timelines from a few days to weeks. Please keep me informed so I will know what to expect.

    TIMELINE: MEB THROUGH PEB

    Congrats on finally getting your results. At least its done now...and I guess they are not 3 months behind like you and I thought before which is really good news. With your package done, my results must be coming right behind yours, hopefully. Good luck with the transition.

    Preparing for FPEB

    Hey, sorry to hear you didn't quite get the results you were looking for. I hope the FPEB goes a lot better for you. Do they always allow you to challege a fit for duty? I am apart of the pilot as well. Just wondering how long exactly did it take for your IPEB package to come back with the findings?

    Results In Today!!

    Congrats! I'm glad a fellow AF cop was well taken care of. What is the break down for your disabilities and %? I was looking at some of your other posts, and I think it said sleep apnea. Is this what you were talking about for the IPEB actually using the 2008 NDAA?

    Any here apart of the new DOD/VA pilot program??

    I just don't get what is taking so long! And no one has any answers for me as to how long this will take! This is so frustrating!

    I've had the same question as you...I am so tired of having to track down my PEBLO and ask for a status report. MEBs shouldn't be this hard! My paperwork has been at the IPEB for 43 days now. They halted it for some additional information about a 1 1/2 weeks ago, but its back on track now. I'm...

    Question about Appeals

    It seems you are in a tough spot. But I know exactly what you are going through. I am also Security Forces and anytime something is wrong medically, they make you feel like you are garbage. Any appointments are out of the questions. Luckily for me, the past 2 months I have been doing a...

    TIMELINE: MEB THROUGH PEB

    All we can do at this point is pray and hope for the best. Today is day 37 at the IPEB so I just don't know anymore. With our packages at the IPEB, this leaves nothing more we can do on our own to get our packages going...so I guess no more calls to the PEBLO to ask whats next and keep the ball...

    TIMELINE: MEB THROUGH PEB

    Hey, I'm right there with you in frustration. Mine has been there since the middle of April and I'm apart of the DES Pilot program, which says the IPEB will be complete in 15 days. I'm sure you and I are sharing the same feelings on this. Its hard to plan your life around this. Any day you could...

    Spine Rating: Bending

    Jason, you are a lifesaver! Thanks for finding that document on how proper ROMs are done. It couldn't have come at a better time as I am about to walk out the door and head to the VA to get a ROM test done. After looking at the degrees and remembering how my previous ROM was done by my physical...

    Question about VA appointments and lost paperwork

    Alright, I will not ever leave the VA again without copies of everything. The first time, I thought it was a fluke misake and things happen. But them losing my stuff twice is outrageous! Thanks for your help.

    IPEB Question

    Miles, that seems like a really long time for your friend who's package was sent in Febuary. You do mean to the IPEB in Febuary right? Does anyone know if there is a maximum timeline the PEB has to get results back? Also, on the lines of paperwork expiring...from what I understand the narrative...

    Question about VA appointments and lost paperwork

    So I am having huge problems with the VA, go figure on that one. I originally went for all of my appointments from my original claims. Then a few days after my last one, I get a call from someone at the VA office confirming another appointment I had, which was a surprise to me. They informed me...

    Vocational Rehab

    On the voc rehab, I understand this program pays for much more than the GI bill would. For example, from what I understand, if I wanted to be a pilot, the GI bill would only pay for ground school, but would not cover expenses related like instructor fees and plane rentals. Does the voc rehab pay...

    Any here apart of the new DOD/VA pilot program??

    Diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and found fully fit and deployable in Nov 07.

    Habflyer, I was reading your post and the other one you posted before. I am a bit confused. On your 618, the medical board report, it lists your boarded conditions. Were your others on there besides sleep apnea?

    Any here apart of the new DOD/VA pilot program??

    Thanks Jim. I will be sure to keep everyone up to date on my case as I am sure this will be more helpful to others in the coming months as more and more people become apart of the pilot.
