Magic lol … the provider gave me their card at the end of my visit because they needed some documents not in my record
How long did it actually take for your claims to populate on va.gov? I've been done with exams for 2 weeks now and still dont see it. Unsure if its normal or not

Yes, you read that right. I was contacted this morning by the PEBLO, who informed me that they would notify the providers to start the local board. Then, about four hours later, I was contacted again and told that it was already complete and I could come in to sign the 618.

I haven't seen anything on the VA website. I called to find out what stage my claim is in. It is normal not to see anything on the VA website until your claim is "closed." This means they have completed your ratings. What I have seen others do is, once there is something under the "closed" tab on the VA website, they call and ask for an email of their ratings letter, so they don't have to wait for the PEBLO to inform them.
Oh ok gptcha thanks for letting me know! Was there a specific number you called or just their general # from google?
Just from Google. Some 800 number.

For anyone who is curious, the email reads: "The Physical Evaluation Board Liaison Officer (PEBLO) at your base Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) sent your Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) package to the Air Force Personnel Center Physical Disability Operations Branch. The Physical Disability Operations team is reviewing your package to ensure the documentation is current and complete. Incomplete MEB packages are returned to your base PEBLO for correction as it is vital the information is accurate and current in order for the Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) to make a determination. Once it is verified your package is complete, Physical Disability Operations will transfer your completed package into a Disability Evaluation System (DES) case file for review by the IPEB."

Were you provided any updates on your process? I signed my 618 same day as you and now have my va claims showing closed and va proposed rating.
No updates! I've been checking with my MSC/VA and I'm still in the decision phase. Thanks for checking in.
Congrats on getting your proposed rating!
call the va and ask because mine is pending final review as of today and the agent said most likely will close this week!
Did you get a second MyFSS email?
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Mine didnt come until after va closed claims and Dod applied their rating as well

10 Jul 24 - IBS C&P exam scheduled for July 18th
Apparently the VA rating criteria for IBS changed before I had my exam for IBS which I don't believe because my general medical exam was in April and the guidance wasn't official until May....anyways, I guess this is in my favor because they added the 20% rating instead of just 10% or 30% and it gives me the opportunity to re address this claim which I should have 30% for. This is extremely frustrating as I had to yank this answer out of my MSC and the VA. I knew there was something wrong with my timeline when I had not received my rating back last month.

Yeah i've been following your timeline for a while and started feeling like something was up. I'm sorry you have to deal with last second mess like that. Still wishing a speedy process from this point on for you !
When did you have your general exam done? And did you claim IBS? If your exam was done after in or after May I believe you are good.
Thank you!
