    What's Next?

    I am sitting in limbo and no one can tell me what is going on or what I am waiting for now. My MEB was started 6 JUN 2013 and I had finally received my ratings by mid January this year. I was found unfit due to a two level cervical fusion. While waiting for my ratings I was diagnosed with...

    Wait Time For Providence, RI

    Thanks. I know it is a long process and your time is coming. My unfit was 25 July 2013, I spent 135 days at Seattle before my packet was sent to Providence so I am just happy someone has actually looked at it at this point. Good luck and hopefully you are right and my end is neigh!

    Wait Time For Providence, RI

    My unfit memo was July 25th and still no news. I started in Seattle and then at 135 days was moved to Providence, now I am waiting again. The good news is that I am getting paid and I try and remember that often when dealing with this. I just don't like feeling that I have no control of what...

    Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

    Your timeline looks a lot better then mine. I was referred to MEB 6 Jun and my unfit memo was 25 Jul. I am now over 130 days at VA. I have done nothing to slow the process down so maybe my rater is out sick.
