Guys, I was referred to Medboard in March, I completed my C&P in May, and I still hadn't heard anything or signed my NARSUM, when I called my PEBLO she said the physician or authorizing Physician hasn't signed and it has me even worried more because though it might've happened before, however, I rarely hear that a case has been sitting at MEB for months, I tried to get more information but she got annoyed and hung up now I am wondering if there is something wrong with my case and what could be the problem to cause such delay.
Does anyone know what could be or have experienced this before, anything at all?

Thank you.
 
From introduction to my PEBLO to me receiving my VA disability ratings, it took roughly 1.5 years. I was diagnosed with an unfitting condition all the way back in October 2022 and I am STILL waiting for my orders to separate. So yes, MEBs definitely can take months and months.

If I have learned anything throughout this process, it is that patience is key. Your MEB package has to go through many, many, many bureaucratic channels. I'm not sure if you know anything about government bureaucracy, but it is sloooowwww, my friend.
