Hello all. My PEB is part of the DOD-VA pilot program. I was told I would hear results in 10-15 days. My board has now been in Washington D. C. for 3 months. Is anyone else having similar issues and how long did it take most to hear back about a result? Thanks so much and please take care.
Timeline- My PEB has been in DC 3 months
- Thread starter cb1373
- Start date
I have checked with my PEBLO weekly for updates. As of the last 3-4 weeks it has been awaiting JAG signature. (I am an officer therefore all of our boards go through JAG from what I hear). Does anyone know from JAG signature how long it takes to hear results. Thank you for all the input and advice.

1st Eval - Awaiting "FIT" Results
Hi Everyone-
Anyone here get a "FIT FOR DUTY" from the PEB recently? I've been waiting about 3 wks and heard from Great Lakes Hospital (TDRL Office) folks have been hearing back within 3-4 days. If you've gotten a "FIT FOR DUTY", can you please let me know how long it's taken. Thanks!

Folks,
1. While I understand that everyone focuses on the time-line and predictability, you should recognize that this time must be put to good use ensuring that you keep up with any medical appointments and continue to build the medical and non-medical evidence needed to obtain an optimum result in your case.
2. While there may be some glitches in the pilot program, it does tend to move very fast as opposed to the standard program.
3. As someone who regularly represents service members in these settings, this is not always a good thing. Most cases are actually won by building the evidence needed to achieve your goals as early on as possible.
4. Once you receive a response from the IPEB in the pilot program, you could be on a very short clock to a formal hearing, if that is your choice.
5. That is not a good time to realize that your ROM assessments are very dated or that updated info will be needed regarding your performance or from your specialty providers.
6. My advice- every day that you are waiting should be spent preparing as though you have to go on to a formal hearing and not worrying about the time taken to process the case.
