Hello PEB forum, I am new to the forum and would like to reach out for some help from the group. I am trying to find a IDES/VA attorney as I do not wish to use the counsel provided by the MED board office at the naval hospital for lack of confidence in the process and incentive for them. I...

USAF: The PEBLO called me yesterday and told me that my CC has requested I be switched to the LDES from IDES. I have two C&Ps left for the IDES - an optometrist and an appointment for a TBI and/or generalized seizure disorder evaluation. Can this switch actually happen without my consent? Is...

Before I start I want to say that I have already talked to lawyers at the DSO and they have told me they are unsure about my case since it is unique. I started my medboard back in July just recently finished my c&p exams back in October. In early September I tested positive on urinalysis for thc...

Both the closed claim and the one that looks like it is still open we’re both submitted on the same date. I have only seen one of these claims dated for the 23rd of March until a few days ago. I am currently going through IDES and was curious if this is something others have seen, or did they...

Hello all, I have just started the IDES process and am looking for some feedback on potential outcomes. I experienced a MST event early in my career. I’ve been seeing psychiatrists, psychologists, and have completed an intensive outpatient 2 week program. I am still able to perform my job on...

I signed my IPEB findings April 2nd, 2020, have not received new EAS as of yet (April 29th). How will my new EAS be calculated by MMSR-4?

Have a question for some of you folks on here that are past or rather recently completed the IDES C&P exams at the VA. Is there a new way of conducting ROM tests? My examiner did it “hands on” and via line of sight. Is this the norm for those of you that have gone through it recently? I was...

I am an AD AF individual with a little over 3 years service. Long backstory to all of medical information, but I was on a profile for over 2 years due to an injury that happened on duty. Originally, I was being MEB'd for this by the DAWG, but they changed my MEB to be for my diagnosis of...

I was referred to MEB in Oct 2019. VA Claim was filled on the 07th of Oct 2019. I got my unfit memo dated 10th Dec 2019. As of today (25th Feb 2020), I literally have no clue what is holding my VA Ratings. I have not recieved my 199 yet obviously. Spoke to my PEBLO, he said, he has no clue whats...

Hello all. I have been going through the IDES process for about a year. I finally got my findings today. I got 20% DoD and 100% VA. however, I strongly disagree with my rating. My referred condition was lumbar spondylosis (forgive me if i spelled it wrong) with radiculopathy. My PEBLO I...

If the referring condition comes back at 30% or more and you are at 15 years of service; can you elect to deny the retirement and choose the severance? I understand all the benefits but looking at all options for my family right now.

Ok, so did me PSO C&P this past Mon, and did my PHY C&P this morning. During this morning's exam, as she was going through the various statements by doctors, profiles, etc, she noted that a military doctor at BAMC gave me a EMG that came back normal, which contradicted my primary Neurologists'...
