I'm glad your good with it.Keep us posted bro!
Yeah. As long as your are happy with it; I share Grizz13's feelings on the matter (except Sister, Bro'ette, Amiga...) lol
does any one know what the current time lines are for fort lewis MEB/PEB. I am not at fort lewis but my case is being handled there. Here is what I have so far,
Phase 1 physical 24 July 2012
Phase 2 physical 08 August 2012
Phone interview with Madigan Doc 06 Sept 2012
I hear that the process has been shortened now and the time line is between 9- 11 months, does anyone know if this is true?
That is a pretty fast time line. I just hope to be completed no later than May 2013, so that I can move my family and get setteled before school starts next year.

I don't know what the "phase one physicals" are, but it has taken almost a year (from the time I had my first VA appointment) to get to almost getting my IPEB findings. Unless you are expidited, I think May is overly optimistic.
I agree that May is overly optimistic, it is just wishful thinking.
No not that bad, 2 years is not gonna happen, prolly May 2013... eagleone you knuklehead...If you haven't been submitted for the MEB yet, you are probably looking at a MAY 2014 (if everything goes well).

Here is my timeline here at Fort Lewis:
Jan '12: PA checked needs medboard, changed a bunch of 2's to 3's on PUHLES.
14 Mar '12: Had the initial meeting with PEBLO
19 Mar '12: Had appointment with MED Board Doctor with initial physical/assessment
13 Jun '12: Visit PEBLO to find a sign on their door being tasked until 03 August. Go to the PEBLO's at the hospital, they look up their system and can't find any status' on myself. PEBLO says the doctor probably forgot about it, and misplaced the paperwork. She apologized and said it doesn't usually happen, but thanks for my notifying her as I would of just been stuck in the cracks until then. I asked if I should come back and check to see if I was back in the system, she said most definitely come back in a few days to verify everything was on track, and thanks me for being patient.
15 Jun '12: Look on AKO at My MEB/PEB, and the page finally populates with "Date of Physician's Notification of MEB Action as of 14 Jun '12.
18 Jun '12: Visit PEBLO for follow up as requested. Got seen by a different PEBLO who says paperwork doesn't get lost and claims I more then likely forgot to do something or missed an appointment, then goes off by saying I shouldn't be making up information since they are currently handling over 4,000 cases, then proceeds to ask if I got this information from online forums or who else, since everyone's case is unique and its just part of the process... At this point I turned about 45 degrees left in the chair and point to the PEBLO next to her, as she turned around and greeted me again talking about how nice it was outside...
Interesting enough how two different PEBLO's can interpret things, and I know better then to get angry or upset with the people directly affecting my paperwork, and just like to smile and nod, and update the information that I have.
20 Jun '12: Got a call today setting up an appointment for Counselling with a doctor scheduled for 22 Jun '12. Glad to see I am at least back in the process.
That is way too long, the MEB doc should have them all in hand 1 week after your final C&P exam.STATUS: As of 14 SEP 2012, I had all my VA appointments within the two weeks back in June, a total of 7, since I had those, haven't heard anything, and the PEBLO's aren't sure either, they say they are waiting on VA, VA says they sent stuff a long time ago.
Fun stuff. Is it appropriate to escalate things, or is two and a half months still early in the process for the VA to send back packet to write up NARSUM?
All, Make sure you document injuries. Do as I say, not what I've done...

Thanks I will have to check on this asap! Love the constant re-organization of PEBLO's between units.
VA doesn't write the 199, the PEB does, the VA only rates you on the claims...Yes this is helping alot. Is there a way I could go to the VA and see where my DA form 199 is?
