It is all about range of motion. I have bilateral hip FAI, 20% but my rom on my back is less than 30 degrees flexion. That gave me the extra 10% needed for medical retirement.

Got findings today...30 DoD 80 VA, thank you Congressman

Very depressed

Call Providence VA. 401-223-3700. I would call them about once a week, and you can call the Office of Airman's Counsel to see if there is any movement on your case. IPEB for me took darn near 80 days for an unfit finding.

@Fran0609 I am Air Force. The PEB form number is AF356. When I called, I just asked them what was on block 12 because on the AF form, that's where their fitness decision is stated. It will probably be different for other branches though.

I just chatted to the VA, asked what block 12 said, and he came back with unfit. Now to wait on the VA

I have been in pending decision approval since September, and nothing in historical. I check about once a day, maybe more sometimes

This is a fun little game...totally sarcastic. My new PEBLO said the VA is working on my percentages, but he cannot say I am officially unfit. Is there an estimated time it takes at the VA if I am already at pending decision approval?

Called Providence VA today, they got my package from the PEB...today

It's so easy to think to myself...what's the point in stressing? Bi lateral hip impingement...unfit. Bi lateral hip impingement 20 percent and thigh ROM at 35 degrees, another 20 percent. In my mind and from research, I am unfit and retired medically, but I can't stop seeing if there are any...

Yaaay, congratulations

Sorry to inform you, but that really means nothing if you haven't had a second claim open up. I have been at that stage for about 2 months, and I don't have a fit/unfit finding yet. Hopefully yours goes fast.

Thank you for whispering it so now it was never said. lol

I figured it out today...67 days so far just to get a fit/unfit finding

I lost track of the days, still heard nothing

That is good info to know gsfowler

http://www.nvlsp.org/what-we-do/lawyers-serving-warriors/meb-peb-assistance-with-the-integrated-disability-evaluation-system-ides There is no mention of the air force being able to have free representation. Bullet point number 3

nvlsp.org says that they only represent PEB cases that are taking place in Washington D.C.

They don't represent Air Force?

That makes me feel a little better...even though they have been taking their sweet time with my stuff...oh well, thank you for the clarification
