IDES Timeline

Does anyone know if findings are send back to PEBLOs throughout the day, or is it just a morning thing?
My head PEBLO said they get findings in the evenings
 
I’m sure they are doing best that they can but no matter how good/fast you are at handling a case, 2 people just isn’t enough for like 2500 cases. It’s on the PEB to hire more qualified people but clearly it’s not a priority to them.
If only it were that easy. There are BICs assigned for each position. In order to add more personnel then they would have to submit a TOKER. Unless they work on their own system, which I highly doubt.
 
Good evening Friends,
Update: I received a call from the PEB this afternoon telling me my findings were 0%DOD/ 90% VA.

I have an appointment to review everything tomorrow morning and will appeal.

I immediately connected with a wounded Warrior counselor to see how to get an attorney. They found out my attorney’s info and had her call me.

Attorney went over my DBQ and said there was stuff missing and that the person who wrote it up was “lazy” as there are service connected conditions missing.

Will meet with her right before I go to the PEB tomorrow. She said the appeal process can take 6-8 weeks. She said there’s so much wrong with my findings that we will need to make an appointment to go line by line and that we have our work cut out for us. Now I need to get statements from my doctors, chain of command, ER discharge paperwork, SIQ chits, etc.

Good thing I didn’t start the home loan process

So your PEBLO didn’t CC your attorney on your completed package before having you sign it before sending it to the PEB??? This sounds like a failure!

He sure didn’t and I didn’t know he was supposed to. This is my first time that I’m hearing that’s how it should’ve went.

In my prayers, keep us updated

I don’t know if there is anything in writing that states they have to. However, you “should” have been setup with an initial meeting with your attorney after being entered into IDES. Then your NARSUM, NMA, and other documents “should” have been reviewed by your attorney prior to the package being sent to the PEB.

My PEBLO kept reassuring me that I only meet with an attorney after my package comes back. The attorney was pissed that I didn’t know I was supposed to have them look it over before submitting. It’s so messed up because during this process not everyone gets the same information.

That's not true, you should've assigned an IDES attorney
