Hi all, new to the group. I wanted to share my journey with everyone.

12 April, MEB Class
14 April, Initial VA interview
28 April, First appointment
10 May, Last appointment

So that is my current situation. My PEBLO has been helpful throughout the process and has told me that now its just a waiting game. It everyone that is in the Army knows that phrase far to well.
I was also wondering if any other Soldiers are AGR and if they have had any positive or negatives experiences with the process.

My wife is AGR. Luckily her replacement arrived early in the process so her unit has worked her out of her job and now she focuses on her health. The process is the same in that its a hurry up and wait situation. How your unit supports you during this time greatly affects how you feel about the situation. Check TOL and in the documents section your C&P exams will eventually show up. When they do check them out and make sure they are accurate.

Also, don't sit around and do nothing when it comes to this process. Know what the C&P exams say. Have a game plan and a set of goals you wish to accomplish. Then as you get your NARSUM you will know if that NARSUM is in line or not. If not then you have some options like a IMR or a Rebuttal or both. If there is anything that isn't right you need to fight it during the entire process. This will give you a better outcome than not doing anything. If there are areas that you are weak in now is the time to collect additional evidence such as buddy letters and letters from doctors stating whatever your goal is.

Thank you for the information. I'm doing most of what you mention. I never thought to have gathered any evidence from my battles. What is TOL? I'm sure I'VE heard of it before but its slipped my mind.

TOL= Tricare Online which is the online portal to view your medical records. Your C&P exams should be list there by now of if not very soon. You want to get them ASAP so you have an idea of how the VA will rate your conditions.
 
I understand now. I checked Tricare yesterday and it shows the appointment letters as well as the details of one appointment already.
 
Sent this email to my PEBLO yesterday.

I noticed that one of my appointments with QTC has been uploaded but the others are still just showing the appointment slips. Is there a general timeframe for those to appear in TOL?
Looking back at it I kind of should of know the answer to it. But has anyone else had their results come in one at a time? I assumed they'd be all at once. But that's what toy get when you assume. lol
 
I gave QTC a call to what the issue is. The last two exams are still setting with the Doctors. . . . . wow
 
UPDATE

I got a call from QTC and I had my hearing test scheduled. Apparently its required for a MEB. This is probably the reason why my stuff has not been updated.
 
UPDATE

12 April, MEB Class
14 April, Initial VA interview
28 April, First appointment
3 June, Last appointment

Spoke with QTC, only one of my 4 appointments are showing as updated and complete. The rest are still in a "pre-delivery check". The rep said once that's complete it will go to the VA. My question is what part of the process is it in? NARSUM, MEB, PEB?

MEB. Once all your DBQs have been uploaded it will be reviewed by a doctor to make your NARSUM, and their recommendations of returning to duty or send to PEB, after that you will concur or appeal, if you concur it will be sent to the PEB where again your case will be reviewed, voted on and if found unfit again it will be sent to the VA for ratings they will return it with ratings and sent to the DOD for their ratings as well. Again you will concur or appeal and then you will sign a 199, and wait to leave the Army. That’s my interpretation of the process. However you are still at the MEB Stage and awaiting creation of your NARSUM pending the uploads of all DBQs from your exams

That's what I figured, QTC was just using different terms. Thanks for the assist.
 
VOL updated my dental exam paperwork. The only one left is the main physical exam. I'm hoping it's updated this week.
 
12 April, MEB Class
14 April, Initial VA interview

22 June, All DBQ's uploaded to TOL, finally!
 
Does anyone know if the MEB process has been sped up for any reason? My wife and I are currently not in the same state. She was fired from her job and the financial strain as already begun.
 
Got this email after I wrote asking the status of my NARSUM

GM! We have your exams and you are added to the pending NARSUM list. We
were slammed with about 10 cases all at once.
