Rough timeline of how things have been for me since starting. Full disclosure I am remote to Knox due to being on Recruiting orders. MEB process while remote is difficult and make sure you have a phenomenal civilian PCM.
22 Jul 2024, MEB Brief
Beginning of Aug filed a delay due to family members health and traveled essentially on emergency leave.
Sep/Oct 2024 Completed all C&P Exams.
12 Nov 2024, Roughly 1 month later signed NARSUM.
27 Jan 2025 Claims closed
28 Jan 2025 Told I had a added claim by the VA and had to complete additional exam. It did not affect anything.
29 Jan 2025, had to submit paperwork of contract extension change to finish MEB as original ETS was supposed to be in 2 days.
30 Jan 2025 Notified of Ratings. 0% DOD, 100% P&T VA and scheduled appt with lawyer.
3 Feb 2025 Had meeting with lawyer. At this time I was advised that the DOD is trying to cut me out with no severence even though 199 states I would get one. Agreed to fight the DOD, had 10 day extension filed.
Currently, trying to schedule appts with a specialist to help my case and organizing paperwork to submit. Everything looked good and in favorable conditions when I looked over my NARSUM so I did not choose to contest at that time. Now I am doing a uphill battle to get stuff added and to have stuff added. Having issues with tricare getting authorization approved and closely monitoring. Entire process has been exhausting, started taking new anxiety medication, expecting a new baby and a whole whirlwind of emotions and uncertainty. But things are finally moving forward.
