Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

Not open for further replies.
Just to let you know, I just got 40% DoD for bilateral compartment syndrome. It was my only unfitting condition as well.

I had a bunch of similar VA claims too and ended up with 90%

Thanks for the info! I never had the pressure test done though, so may not be that much. Yeah I am hoping for 80%.
 
I'm currently on day 61 of rating, 1 unfit and 9 fit conditions. Watching the dashboard time come down and some of you guys at the 60-80 day moving status to pending approval and etc... gives some hope.
 
Just received my 199 today %30 DOD, %90 VA, permanent retirement. My status on e benefits went to review of evidence from preparation for decision after 125 days of rating wait timeline on 04/21/2014 and today 04/30/2014 I received my 199 and signing it tomorrow then wait for orders and go back to HOME! Thank you everybody. I will post a timeline tomorrow from AKO. FYI my ebenefits and AKO updates were pretty decent ( 3-4 days mistake) in timely manner
 
My ebenefits is in the "review of evidence" phase and has been since 3/25/2014. Which is weird because my packet had not been sent to the PEB until 4/11/2014 and unfit letter didnt come back until 4/15/2014. Is the VA able to review my evidence if they didnot have all of my packet?
 
They seem to be getting a handle on it slowly, but surely. They average length seems to be going down every other week or so. I am personally on day 61 of waiting on my Ratings and my ebenefits changed to PENDING DECISION APPROVAL yesterday so hopefully mine will be over soon. If so I would definitely be one of the lucky ones.

Hope this helps... if not I am sure there are some people who are far more educated on the process that can give better feedback.

Still sitting at Preparation for Decision. Day seven at that stage. Anyone know what the normal wait time for ratings is from this point?

I hit that stage on March 10th. It is now May 1st and I'm still there. Good luck.
 
Hey all. I've been in the MEB process since the beginning of October 2013. I'm just moving past day 102 in my wait for VA ratings. I'm getting out for 2 unfit conditions, a pulmonary embolus and a bilateral knee condition (I believe :D). Can anyone share with me any phone numbers to check on the ratings or anything for that matter? My IDES still says I'm waiting on ratings and my Ebennies acct says it's still gathering evidence. I also went to my PEBLO 2 days ago and she's telling me, through her computer program(s), that the VA hasn't even picked up my packet since it got to them in January. Any type of coaching, advice, and help will be well appreciated, as well as much-desired. Thank you.

It's pretty much a waiting game at this point, fellow members here still waiting after 160 days!
If you PEBLO stated they haven't started rating yet, then that's the same info you'll get from the VA
 
Finished with everything now. As of may 1st im on terminal leave with a retirement date of 26 june. Does anybody know how long it has been taking lately to finalize ratings and start getting paid from the va.
 
Anybody have recent Active Duty TRANSPROC times? My 199 was signed and returned to the PEB yesterday. I'm hoping I can be on the road heading home by May 21st. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I signed my 199 on 25 Apr which was a Friday, called Retirement Services on Tuesday and she said it had hit already, and got my orders Yesterday. Start clearing Monday and Final out 13 May. Its gonna steamroll now for you.

Awesome, thanks! Apparently mine came through, but my hold up is now my CoC giving me my separation counseling. I hope I can clear next week. Congrats and thank you!
 
Had a status change from Review of Evidence where it went back to Gathering of Evidence. Was hoping to see the famous requesting separating documents but saw this intead: VAMC Puget Sound, DMA physicians with a start date of April 26, 2014 and a due date of June 25, 2014. What does this mean? Kind of frustrated because if everything was there and good to go, I believe it would have been said requesting sep docs.


Status changed back to review of evidence. From what I understand, my review should be at the top of the list since it has already been seen once. Does anybody know if there is any truth to that? Also, all of my status changes have come on a Saturday afternoon. I am pretty persistent in checking once in the morning, at noon, and in the evening and it was at gathering this morning. Either way, thinking I am pretty darn close.
 
Remember, remember, the 5th of November. My MEB packet the Seattle VA, had got. I know of no reason, why the Seattle VA, hasn't touched it since early March, it must have been forgot.

Been 180 days today since my packet was submitted for ratings, talked to my MSC Wednesday, since my PEBLO is less than useful AND on vacation, but I digress. He told me that it's not pending any further reviews or anything, yet it's hasn't been touched or looked at since early March.

Only 1 unfitting condition, my right ankle as s/p 3 ankle surgeries, with severe tendon and ligament damage. Dealt with the condition for nearly 2 years before the MEB started, so they added everything musculoskeletal from the feet up, and ended up with 23 claimed conditions, nearly 2/3 of which were marked as in remission.

I think it's ridiculous that it's now been 6 months and no rating, or news of rating, and even more ridiculous that my packet hasn't been touched in 2 damn months. Is this common practice with the Seattle VA?

I'm coming up on 170 days with my PEBLO telling me to just "hang in there" .. It seems all of us November unfitting are being passed up by later unfitting dates.
 
At least your PEBLO gives you some verbal support. Anytime I ask mine even simple questions, all I get back from her is "your MEB packet is still pending VA ratings, you'll be notified when they're finished" . . . Thanks a lot, useless wretch >_<

Nothing much else your PEBLO will tell you other than that if their isn't any update with your claim

I started my whole process in October of 2013 and my PEBLO told me it hasn't been touched since January. Be happy/lucky your packet is getting some love!

Seems there's quite a few people waiting unduly long while the VA is just sitting on its ass. Few people in my unit are tuck in the same situation, although not entirely long as a few of us on here. Just hope to hear news from my PEBLO when she gets back this week.
 
I've been waiting 196 days on VA Ratings. I am active duty and mine is one of the longer waits I have heard of.

Did you ever hear anything back. I had the same issue as you with the Puget Sound Review about a week after you. Hope your stuff comes back soon.
 
Well it's been 14 days since the VA finished my proposed ratings and sent back to the PEB and my Peblo still hasn't called me in yet. I am hoping she Will call me in sometime today or this week. I am getting frustrated with this whole thing. Been in the MEB phase for over a year and been waiting 140 days for my ratings. I am hoping to be done by end of June.
