February 2019- Diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis
March 2019- Permanent LIMDU with "no functional limitations" for non-deployment due to prescribed immunosuppressant Humira
May 2019- Med Board initiated, inducted into IDES
August 6, 2019- First round of C&P exams, VA Status: "Claim Received", "Initial Review", and "Evidence Gathering, Review, and Decision"
December 14, 2019- Final C&P exam
December 20, 2019- VA reviews submitted evidence
January 31, 2020- MEB moves to PEB
February 11, 2020- VA Status: Closed, "We sent you a decision letter."
My PEBLO hasn't informed me whether I was found fit or unfit for duty, and she hasn't received the decision letter, yet. Something about how fast it moved from the PEB to mailing a decision letter makes me think that this will be a fit for duty determination. However, my original claim on VA.gov remains in an "Evidence Gathering, Review, and Decision" status, with each claim being at "Pending Decision Approval," and there is a separate claim status of "Closed."
The estimated completion date of the original claim is 05/03/2020 - 07/12/2020.
The only update my PEBLO had been able to give me to this point was that my package was pending adjudication, even when I emailed her February 10, 2020. I called her yesterday, after emailing her, to tell her that my letter had been mailed, and she told me she'll call me when she receives it.
Hopefully, someone can help me make sense of this. Has anyone been in this situation and received an unfit for duty determination and a rating proposal, or does this end in fit for duty every time?
