@commsguy Yeah, I would imagine that you wouldn't hear anything but know they are supposed to give you 30 days notice as a curtosey. That being said, if they send your notification that your FPEB has been granted, it will more than likely be a minimum of 30 days after you are notified. So, if I...

@commsguy Technically it was a rebuttal to a FIT finding. They reviewed my appeal, came back with UNFIT for one condition and TDRL so I nonconcurred with those findings and requested the FPEB. Had my board on 28 November.

I had success with my appeal and would be happy to answer any questions you have.

If I were you, I wouldn't expect to hear anything until January at the earliest considering the holidays are upon us. For a reference, my appeal was submitted June 2nd and my package wasn't sent to the VA until about three months after that. I nonconcurred those findings when they came back and...

APPEAL! Appeal, appeal, appeal! I'm not sure if you remember reading from my posts, but I have nonconcurred with findings twice. I was originally found FIT back in May and went up to D.C. for the formal board Tuesday the 28th. They offered me a deal, to find me UNFIT for three conditions and...

That's exactly what that means. You'll have the results soon. Good luck!

From the couple of people I know who have gone to the FPEB (myself included) it's right around six weeks. Maybe longer if you are being scheduled right now because of the holidays.

The PEB sent my stuff to the VA on 18 September. VA sent my package back to the PEB in about 12 business days. PEBLO called me on October 4th.

@teemoore82 How did your board go?

I requested a formal board because I was found 'UNFIT' for one condition, but (I believe) more than one of my conditions is unfitting. Also, one of my diagnosed conditions was not submitted by my PEBLO at the beginning of the process. The only way to rebutt a VA rating is to do a VARR. It is my...

I am currently waiting on a formal board. It is scheduled for November 28th.

If your stuff is sent to the VA you have been found UNFIT. Your PEBLO will be able to tell you if in fact your stuff was sent to the VA when you call. Should be around three weeks or less at the VA if that is the case. From my understanding every case goes through the QA phase regardless if...

Good advice. Try Vets.gov. Make sure you open it in google chrome otherwise it might not work.

If you click on the date of your "open claim" it will take you to that claim. Your dates will be towards the top.

@KBToyz we are in the same boat. When were you found FIT? Were you found FIT by the PEB? The next step would be to disagree with the findings, get a new NMA and submit a rebuttal to the formal board. But first you will want to speak with a lawyer.

Yeah this whole process has been a nightmare. Didn't know it could get any worse. Hopefully it works out. Any word on your stuff?

Yes, I will be going to a formal board. I would assume two months or so before I go up to D.C. So, ten days to disagree and sign findings, couple of days to receive the appeal and around 60 days for the formal. On the backside the VARR should take 15-30 days. I think I'm looking at an...

@USMC.JCA It did not go as planned. They found me "UNFIT" for one condition at 30%, when clearly (to me at least) three of them are unfitting. I should have not signed the NARSUM from my neurologist. Didn't think it would matter that much. Thought this would be cut and dry. The PEB probably...

Congratulations!! @Tiredmarine25

Thanks @USMC.JCA. Hopefully the PEB is on your case now. That was very fast. I was not expecting that at all. Hopefully Tired got his today as well. I will keep this thread updated.
