I'm Army. I'm getting retired. Went to transitions yesterday and got told I pick up my orders on Monday! Then out-process and I start ptdy and transitional leave on November 3!! Once you get that appointment with transitions it seems super fast! I knew it was going to be that way but because...

I took leave during mine because I had use or loose days but had to stay "in the local area," which my command defined as 3 hours driving.

I signed my 199 on October 3 and I just got the approval to go to transitions on October 17. Called transitions and their first available appointment for medical retirements was tomorrow October 20. Fingers crossed that everything goes quickly from here and I'm able to be out of here by the...

Yeah I thought so too! Maybe it's due to Columbus Day .... I'm trying to not get anxious but I don't think it's working. Plus I don't know when my PEBLO actually sent it back up for final approval. She always says that she's sending it that day but it winds up being a few days to a week later. lol

My stuff had finished at the VA on 26August and it took until the 27September to get anything back. I signed my 199 on 3October and now I'm waiting for final approval and my name to appear so I can get orders made and move on. Fingers crossed that I'm done by the end of October! Keep in mind...

Look at all of your medical records. If you have new evidence to show that the condition(s) have not improved and/or have gotten worse you can use that. Look at your commander's memo and see what they said. If they said you can still do your job then I would look into seeing if you can get...

I'm Army but if you're really frustrated you can try calling the PEB to ask on a status update. This is the Navy number (202)685-6418 or (202)685-6419 The one for Army is 1-877-577-3065 .. I just clicked through the options until I was able to talk to someone. The VA is 1-800-827-1000 .. they...

I started my MEB back on March 1st and it took me until last week to get my 199. My PEBLO told me it would take 20 days to get my orders. Who knows ..... the way the system works it could be 5 days or it could be 30 days. I already cleared CIF and turned in all my gear (and for us that's the...

It was the same for me. I have ddd of the lumbar spine and herniated discs and was rated at 40%. My forward flexion was 0-30 degrees as well for range of motion. It all comes down to your c and p examiner. Mine happened to be very precise in making sure everything I said regarding pain and...

Thanks!! Congrats to you too!! Finally can start moving on!

Keep calling!! I just got my ratings today, finally! My peblo basically just handed me a bunch of papers and said here's all of your findings, look it over and sign please. Thank god my husband was with me or I would have completely lost it at her. He's the calm one who said, thank you...

Thanks... I hope so too! I actually never got by VA proposed ratings. The VA won't release them to me because the letter is "addressed to the PEB," even though they are about me. LOL. My PEBLO won't respond and the one time I was able to talk to her she said she knew nothing because...

I completely agree. I actually called and spoke to someone at the PEB who looked up my case up and said that it was "ready for distribution." Which he told me meant that all they were waiting on was for me to review and sign my findings . . . and that hopefully I should see my paperwork soon...

yeah it's frustrating. Since we believed that I was going to be on leave by October (and we are moving internationally) we sold most of our furniture and our second car. Now it's mattresses on the floor and praying that it doesn't take two months for the PEB findings to come back. LOL ...

Here is my dashboard snapshot. Any ideas how long it's going to take at the PEB Findings stage? My PEBLO is telling me I probably won't hear anything back until the end of November . . . seems a little long to wait. Suggestions??

I called the VA this morning and the person I spoke to on the phone refused to fax my proposed ratings to me. She insisted that they were sent to my PEBLO and that the PEBLO is the only one who can do that. I also spoke to her supervisor at the VA who told me they weren't allowed to release...

The VA finished my packet on the 26August and I've still heard nothing from anyone ....

My advice ... keep going to every appointment and keep complaining that you're in pain etc etc. Go to mental health. Ask for a second opinion. No one is going to take care of you except you. Keep pushing to get the care you need. Your command cannot block you from seeking medical care or...

I also started the process back in March. Supposedly my stuff has finished at the VA on 26August and is back at the PEB but (of course) my PEBLO doesn't know anything and I'm still waiting for an answer. anyone else at Eustis have any ideas how long it actually is taking to get the DA199 back?

I get the same answer every time I talk to my PEBLO, when I can get her to respond to me. Mine actually told me that she would "call when I have your findings." She never notified me when I was found unfit and I only was able to figure it out because I saw the claim status change in ebenefits...
