    VA Ratings Letter

    In the process of clearing post. Final out next week - VA reps here told me to bring in my DD 214 so they could finalize my case. My main question is - how long does it take to receive the ratings letter from the VA once your DD 214 is turned into the VA? My wife and I are trying to buy a...

    Officially receiving results tomorrow, informal reconsideration question

    Evening all. I met with my NEW PEBLO yesterday and talked about a few things. Magically, my PEB results are in and I receive them officially tomorrow. I already know what my ratings will be (or, rather, should be - PEBLO did the wink and confirmed what I was told by the VA, but you never know...

    Where the heck did my ratings go?

    This is more of a rant than anything, but still. After speaking with the VA a few weeks ago, they said a ratings determination was made on 26 July and was being reviewed for approval. Seattle was averaging ten days. After checking my status several times on the eBenefits website, nothing had...

    Queston regarding concurrent receipt under 20 years

    The short of it: In the "decision phase" according to my VA eBenefits profile. My claim was submitted from the PEB to the VA DRAS-Seattle on 11 July 2011. From there, the VA call center said it would take 30 days. Monday, I spoke with probably the only helpful person I've ever spoken to at...

    Conflicting information from PEBLOs/Army vs VA Ratings

    I have been officially in the MEB process since January of this year. After speaking with the Doctor who wrote my P3 profile, the ortho PA who I saw before the process began, and my original PEBLO, my case was an easy one and I would be out by July. This was important to me because I was to...

    Just had general medical eval/range of motion test today...

    Access to Care Standards and Appointment Timeliness

    Quick question for anyone who might be able to answer. Talked to an individual at QTC, whom the VA contracts with to do compensation and pension exams. It had been over 2 and a half weeks since I heard from them last, and the only appointment I have received so far is Audiology. I still am...

    Range of Motion Test Question

    This may have been answered in another post somewhere, and I'm sorry if it has but my Search-Fu isn't up to par tonight. Jason, if you read this, thank you for your previous replies to my questions in my other thread found here. My L5-S1 blew out, resulting in a P3 profile, resulting in an...

I have never had a Soldier go through a MEB, so the whole process is new to me even as a participant. I need some information, as the timeline provided to me isn't exactly clear, is wrong, or...

    Quick question regarding MMRB/remaining time in service.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I have a question and nobody in my Company seems to be able to answer this question. I have severe back problems resulting from my deployment. The Orthopedic surgeon ruled out surgery, and I am going to pain management. The profiling PA asked me...
