Questions about my PEB timeline

You always have something to claim, trust me. Some examples could be Headaches, joint pain, can't sleep, anxiety, irregular bowl movements, acne, the list goes on and on. If I were you I would be making Appts for various things, just a suggestion though. I would hate to see anyone leave the military without a VA rating and service connected disabilties.
The DoD will match the rating the VA gave you for your unfitting condition. So if the VA gives you 0% for your unfitting condition the PEB/DoD will do the same meaning you would get severance pay upon separation.
Firstly congratulations !
Secondly, Trust me I know all about just wanting it to be over with. I was on med hold for two years.
Keep in mind that you have a year after separation in which the VA will backdate any claims or appeals you make and they also assume it's all service connected. If you wait longer than a year they don't backdate it, and you would need to provide new documentation.
There are also various VA programs that you can take advantage of if you have a certain percentage, so whether you do it while you're in or after you're out please do claim as much as possible.
Thank you!
What are the VA programs?
I feel like it'll be a bigger pain in the ass to try to get better ratings once I'm out then if I stay in though.
Of course it always depends on your personal situation and how long you wish to drag it out.
Vocational Rehabilitaion, basically really similar to the GI Bill but you don't have to use the GI Bill while using it, you need a certain VA percentage, 20 or 30, I'd have to look. Pays you a stipend monthly, you get a free laptop and other things.
Work study program. A job that's basically More tax free income based on your serviced connected percentages.
Just to name a few. You have to really snoop around to find some of them.
That means it was sent back to the PEB. You should be hearing back what your findings are soon. (Soonish)
I really couldn't say without knowing your case.
I hope you get what you wanted regardless!
Yes please keep us updated!
So I'm not sure if you're just guessing you will be rated at 0% or not but I do know that when I signed my package the peb first finds you unfit at 0% and then they send it to the VA for ratings and when that comes back they actually determine your percentage and what type of discharge you will receive.
Even though your condition can and might improve over time, they will still rate you according to the 38cfr. I know this because I claimed tenea versicolor, which is a skin condition that can get better over time but hasn't yet and I still got 10% for it from the VA. So keep your head up and hope for the best.

What are the claims labeled ? I.e. Does one say "IDES" and one say "compensation"?
It could really mean anything. The raters are looking at it, they sent one off, etc.
Unfortunately ebenfits doesn't act logical a lot of the time.
It means your proposed ratings are complete, but you will only receive them via your PEBLO in 2-4 weeks. The open claim will remain unchanged until you are discharged and provide the VA your DD-214. For me, post-discharge completion only took 1 month.
