Does anyone know why the PEB is Backlogged? I was told du to the transitioning to the electronic system. anybody else have a clue or an insight?
 
More claims than the system can handle. Unfortunately it takes some time.
 
I asked the question when I called the IPEB. I was told yes, but not a specfic amount of time. PEBLO told me 2-3 weeks. Would be nice to hear from others
 
Mine has been at the IPEB for 3 months and 3 days. I had to provide them more information, and it has been there for 25 days since they received everything. I called the other day, and I was told they had everything they needed but they are just backed up. Of course, I was told that my package would be reviewed immediately once they received the additional information...I guess that was wrong.
 
Anybody else have any information on a backlog? I know some people have called and gotten some info, but they told me to talk to the PEBLO.
 
I was told a few weeks ago by the Lt Cdr at the Navy PEB that the backlog was due to a tech refresh in September that had some issues. He didn't give me any indication of how big or long the backlog is though. My package has been at the PEB for 2 months now.
 
ill go in tomorrow and talk to my PEBLO and see what she says. chances are she isn't there. WHY? you ask cause that's just how the cookie crumbles lol. well if she is there I will let yall know what I hear. more info or believable rumors would be great to hear.
 
Anybody hear anything new? My PEBLO says she expects my package to move to the next phase "within the week". I don't believe that, but we will see.
 
I taked to one of the Navy Wounded Warrior reps on Tuesday. He called someone (not sure who) that was able to get into the PEB system and say that mine should be done within a few days. The WW rep says that guy knows what he is talking about so hopefully that is true and I know in another day or 2. I hope everything else goes very quickly because I will have to get it all processed and checked out very quickly. The job I have starts December 8th.

That's awesome man, I hope it goes by quickly for you and that your new job goes well. I am so anxious about mine, but it starts in late January. I am considering calling WW now, did you have contact info? I would appreciate it.
 
The PEB requires everything be in order before proceeding. While everyone hates the wait, it would be even worse if hasty decisions were made without all the proper information being in the file.

Cases are moving much faster now than just a few years ago. The volume of claims is very high. Service members are much better informed of their benefits and are making claims.

Indeed, great news; congratulations also! :D

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"

Best Wishes!
