Hello, MEB sent today to PEB at Walter Reed. Can anyone shed some light on how long they are averaging for a reply? We were told that they are so backed up that they are runnig 65 plus days, and another 3 months for the orders to come down. Is this true? I thought they were to make this process faster.
 
my case was sent to Walter Reed Sept 16, AKO says the received it on the 20th. On December 9th a letter was sent to the doc who did my NARSUM for some additional info. That was done and taken care of and now I am still waiting on results. My PEBLO told me 75-80 days since they were backed up but as you can see its past that timeline. I am in the old system. Someone on here I talked to had his packet sent a little bit after mine and he is done and has his rating from the VA and everything but he was in the pilot program. I hope for your sake it goes as quickly as possible but just be prepared for a long wait.
 
Hello and Thank you... Peblo still has not sent packet to Walter Reed not sure why. On my husband's ERB in Section IV where the profile is also states DIER NON MN. Does anyone know what they mean. Know one at my husband's unit does either, they just tell him they are new codes...LOL I'm hoping one of you out their might.. Thanks
 
DIER NON- "Items that make SolDIER NON-deployable"
MN= Medical Non-Availability

This has to do with unit status reports (USR). For more, see AR 220-1 (though, this won't likely have any impact on his case).
 
Jason, Thank you once again.. you are the man... This site has helped so many people. We have not been able to get anwsers from active duty personnel, but we come here and we get answers and more.. Thank you ..
 
Just found out today that Walter Reed received my Husband's packet on Jan 07, 2011. So now we just wait, I truly hope this isn't out as far as 80+ days...
 
I hope its not 80+ days either but try not to get your hopes up. Mine was sent back with the additional information they requested a little over 2 weeks ago and still nothing. I am sick of waiting, its been 21 weeks at the PEB for me so not sure how much more of this I can take. Is he in the pilot program?
 
latasand,

I received mine finally yesterday, i hope your husband's goes a lot faster than mine. Good luck
 
Thank you Popa_Top2000
I'm glad yours is back I hope you received what you wanted..
We are still waiting. His PEBLO said not for him to contact him anymore because his part is done until the packet comes back from PEB!
 
I did receive a way better outcome than I was hopeing for so I am very blessed and happy.

I don't think his PEBLO should of said not to contact him anymore. I talked to mine every few weeks or so and he would tell me where I was at on the list. By list I mean a list of all the packets sent from here at Landstuhl to Walter Reed. I would assume his PEBLO gets the same list for his clinic. It didn't give me any time frame based on where I was at on the list but it did make me feel a little better knowing that I was moving up on the list every few weeks.
 
Hello, My Husband received the results. The only item they got him on was that his diabetes is not stable. So they gave him 20%. He is now sitting at 17 1/2 years in. He has been doing his job with out any problems. Has never called in sick. He is trying to fight it. Any suggestions? If the board still says no then he is planing on putting in a COAD packet..
 
I have been waiting on a fit vs unfit from Walter Reed since 8 March 2011...still waiting sigh
