My Timeline - Currently Waiting on VA for Ratings

They said they sent a letter with mine but would not tell me. I checked the Va website but the letter doesn’t have the rating on there. Will the letter not have it and my peblo will only be able to see?
That’s what I’m assuming, I tried to see if I can download the letter but it won’t show.. same thing for you I’m guessing?
 
If you call the VA hotline they should be able to send you the letter with proposed VA rating. Then it will take about 1 to 2 weeks to get your DOD ratings and the package with all your rating percentages from your PEBLO. Then you will have around 2 weeks to accept your ratings. Once you accept it takes 2 to 6 weeks for the PEB to send your stuff to PERS. Once PERS gets it they set your separation date 65 days for active duty and 45 days for reserve out from the day they receive it. I just got my retirement date today and i signed my findings on February 2nd. PERS received my stuff from the PEB February 22 and my retirement date is set for 28 April. Hope this helps!
 
If they do, I’ve read that after what am I supposed to do? When do I sign, and after I do sign I’ve read it’s about 30-90 days until you’re completely out, correct? Or have you heard something else?
You sign after the PEBLO gets ratings and you concur with them. If not then you start the appeal process @PERS-95 says that you should expect 90 days but milage may vary

I am active duty. My claim closed on the 24th of January and i was emailed findings from PEBLO 1st February.
 
Alright totally random question for y’all. Anyone qualify for a service dog or know someone who has gone through the process? I want to start now since it takes soooo long but wondering if I should wait until I have my DD-214, that just might take a while.

No this would be a mobility/anxiety dog. I have a LOT of health problems and health related anxiety, not super independent anymore. I also have POTS pretty bad so my heart date skyrockets without me realizing.

I mean, knowing that a PCM has approved it before that shows there's no TRUE policy stating that they can't. I'm sure you have a better chance getting it from a civie doc than a military. Just like anything, if you rate it you rate it.

That’s my thought process as well. Let’s just hope it goes quicker than my medboard lol

How did you get in contact with the whitehouse va rep, I would like to do that
 
i'm going to lose my goddamn shit. the fucking raters at the VA say that i don't rate 30% for dizziness because theres no evidence of occasional staggering. Apparently vestibular rehab twice a week for 3 goddamn months isnt enough evidence that I stagger, along with the C&P exam saying I stagger. Apparently ER visits for physical imbalance and room-spinning isnt FUCKING STAGGERING.

There better be a godamn rage room closer than the nearest VA office because I'm about to lose my shit over this
 
VA told me that my status says pending assignment, does that mean I'm unfit and waiting on a rater?
