I had optum as well! I felt they were very thorough (painstakingly so actually). I wish I had an answer for you but I logged in out of curiosity a week after my claim was closed. I had no idea it was closed when I logged in, but it seems like they put everything in the same day they closed it. So you may not be able to see anything until they’re done processing.

I’ve posted a few other updates in a poor format so here’s a better view plus some new news:
September 18: meeting with MSC
September 21: first contact from VA contractor (Optum)
October 1-24: C&P exams (general, dental, vision, audio, mental health)
October 28: PEBLO receives info from all appointments
October 31: Optum notice that another appointment will be scheduled
November 5: see claim is closed in VA portal, PEBLO tells me I received 100% VA rating
November 17: “bonus” Optum appointment (PEBLO has no idea why they had me do this)
December 2: PEBLO sends all appointment data to PCM for NARSUM addendum
She’s hopeful to get to NARSUM back today or tomorrow. My PCM has just been crazy busy. She told me the local board sometimes takes up to a month but hopefully my case is cut and dry and they can get it moving to IPEB before the holidays. I guess given the 180 expected timeline I should be looking at an effective out date sometime in March? Maybe April since I had that extra appointment tacked on almost a month after my “last” appointment. My initial notification/meeting with the PEBLO was Sept 7.

hey any updates? We are currently on a similar timeline and I was wondering if your case was sent to the PEB yet?I’ve posted a few other updates in a poor format so here’s a better view plus some new news:

Unfortunately no update really. My unit got notification to send a revised impact statement on Dec 11 (the current one was over 6 months old), so I drafted a new one and myself and the commander signed on Dec 15th. Other than that I haven’t heard anything. My stuff SHOULD be at the local board now and maybe the holidays just slowed things down. Hoping for more news next week!!hey any updates?

Finally an update! 618 made it back to PEBLO on the 9th and I signed today. Should be sent to IPEB today. PEBLO says she’s had some cases coming back pretty quick - between 2-3 weeks - with a pretty quick return on DOS/DOR after that.

Waiting impatiently to get PEB results and just got the first MyFSS email again that my package has been submitted to the PEB… clock has been reset I guess. I assume an error was found in the package that had to be corrected? I know something else was already corrected the day they first sent it off.

Congrats! Like I always say, enjoy the next chapter. How do you know you are P&T, I know you get the rating, just didn't think it stated P&T on it. Thanks!April 8, 2025: referred to IRILO

Thank you! Definitely excited to take a little time and figure out what I really want from a career now. And maybe I’m reaching but there was language in one of the documents amidst all the legal-ese that essentially said due to the permanent nature of my condition no reevaluation was warranted under code XYZ. I don’t have it in front of me rn but I took that to mean P&T.Congrats! Like I always say, enjoy the next chapter. How do you know you are P&T, I know you get the rating, just didn't think it stated P&T on it. Thanks!
Can confirm, my Peblo told me this was the case. No worries about fighting for our rating down the road once we’re out!Thank you!

Huuuuuge! Love to see it! If our bodies are gonna be broken at least we’re taken care of haha hopefully we get our orders soon! I see we both got results the same dayCan confirm, my Peblo told me this was the case. No worries about fighting for our rating down the road once we’re out!
Yes!! Ive been checking prda like crazy, hopefully we get them soon! I noticed my MyFSS case disappeared this morning, so im hoping that means theyre working on itHuuuuuge! Love to see it! If our bodies are gonna be broken at least we’re taken care of haha hopefully we get our orders soon! I see we both got results the same day
Trying to antagonize folks about orders and here’s what I’ve gotten. Local MPF retirements team says I should have orders by now. AFPC total force center was zero help. PEBLO says IPEB needs to establish my DOS before orders can be generated, and she’s following up with them about it. I signed and returned all docs by 2:30ish last Wednesday, so not sure what the hold up is, but at least I know WHERE it’s being held up.

I'm on the same timeline. Submitted all docs for orders on Wednesday. Hoping to get my orders before this weekend.Trying to antagonize folks about orders and here’s what I’ve gotten.

Did you have a lot of terminal leave?Just got notification that my DOS is 8 April and two documents have been uploaded into my PRDA (3 total emails). Not seeing anything new in PRDA yet, but best believe I’ll be refreshing every 60 seconds!
Where did the notification of your dos come from?Just got notification that my DOS is 8 April and two documents have been uploaded into my PRDA (3 total emails). Not seeing anything new in PRDA yet, but best believe I’ll be refreshing every 60 seconds!
Edited: duh you just said emails lol. My fingers working faster than my brain here. So happy for you!!
Really not a ton I’d say. It’ll fall somewhere between 15-20 days, and my commander authorized all 20 PTDY. I’ll let yall know what my final leave amount is once I hear back from finance!Where did the notification of your dos come from?
