IDES and PEB Timeline Questions

Hey guys, I'm pretty lost on where I am at and keep getting the run around response of, "You just have to wait". I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on where I might be at in the steps and any recommendations on how to get more information. So far my time line looks like this....

Referral Complete: 11/7/18
VA Claims Complete: 11/7/18
Medical Exams Complete: 12/6/18
MEB Complete: 2/22/19
Informal PEB Complete: 2/26/19
VA Ratings: Has been with them for 112 days. Case is still opened on VA.gov but no files are being requested, just evaluated.

I called the VA last week and they were able to fax me a letter with my proposed ratings in it. Is this the information that is needed to go to the PEB Findings step? Also, my PEBLO stated that my 199 status is typed? Does that mean that the PEB received my ratings from the VA and they are waiting on something else? My PEBLO just keeps telling me I have to wait but this just seems like an extremely long time to wait on ratings. Any insight or advice/education would be appreciated. I'm on Fort Bragg.

Right so after the VA comes with your proposed ratings the should forward back to the PEB for them to come give that information to your PEBLO. I'm surprise that the VA released the rating to you typically that is not how the process works. After the PEBLO receives the letter from the board they should have call you in to go over the proposed ratings. Using after the VA sends its rating to the PEB the process this administratively usually that takes roughly 14 days give or take a couple of days. Also the VA compensation and claims representative that you where assigned initially should be setting up a exit interview with you to go over the ratings and how to move forward. If you haven't appealed the ratings the your headquarters admin section should have schedule an appointment to give you a new separation date. What I recommend since you PEBLO doesn't seem to really be assisting you is contacting the PEB personally. I'm not sure what branch of service that you are in but if you google PEB number it will reflect. Now comes the frustrating part. Actually getting ahold of some one can be very tiresome it seems that no one ever picks up the phone I was able to get a hold of some one at 0900 CST so try around that time and see if it works out. you will get more detailed information from them. Hope this helps.
