Hello,
I underwent the medboard process and got out at the start of January on the 6th. Two days later the VA tracker on their website stated it was in the evidence gathering stage and hasn't moved since. This is problematic as I'm going through the VR&E program and I can't get their subsistence stipend until I have my final rating. I called the VA hotline and they said nothing can be done and nothing is needed.
Friends I have known who've gotten medboarded have gotten their finals within 30 days, which is what I was told is typical for IDES claims (according to my PEBLO).
Is there an average wait time for final ratings? I feel as though I'm being too critical of the situation as other service members wait sometimes years and I'm expecting a resolution in as little as two months. Though having a family that relies on me solely makes me feel uneasy about this process and the lack of communication.
Thank you for any help!
