Posting my timeline... I'll update as it goes along.
One thing to note, my ebenefits has been sitting on "pending decision approval" for a couple week now. I spoke with the MSC and this is how he said it works (at least for him). When the IDES package is all put together it basically splits in two. One copy going to the PEB and one going straight to the VA. The VA does whatever they do while the PEB does their part. If the member is found UNFIT then the PEB sends their stuff to the VA and the two packages "marry up" again. Once the VA does their thing then the claim should go historical and everything sent back to the PEB for the QA phase prior to being sent back to the respective PEBLOs.
