Lucky for you, you're 10 days up from me lol
The informal PEB data isnt exactly from the acceptance to unfit. I was found unfit on July 1. The second claim showed up on the 28th which i guess marks the end of that section.
This just shows the variations in everyone's timelines. As they say, each case is different. Not sure if the timelines are closer installation to installation but it all just proves that we all having different experiences in timelines throughout the process. Good luck to everyone and hope you guys have a fast turn around.
The Dashboard is good but its not always the best indicator. It doesn't get updated in real time so you may have completed a step and its not updated yet. Mine often times shows 0 days remaining and even when I know I'm past a step, it still shows I'm in that step until a week or two after.
It updates every Tuesday at midnight.
Completed today 3Aug2016
Its monday night at midnight, to be visible Tuesday morning.
Congrats on completion. Maybe mine wont be 30 days, but my PEBLO's supervisor told me its been 15-30 lol
Yeah 41 days....I was expecting it to take less than 15 because of how almost every other step was ahead of time. Once it hit VA, that's when it just stopped in its tracks. I still haven't received anything from my PEBLO. Going to email her and see if she has an update for me.
Cool. Well, fingers crossed for a good return. I talked with two people today that had their second claim date around mine who got theirs today or yesterday... getting anxious. My work and local situation is deteriorating right now, so I could stand to peace out asap.
I know exactly how you feel. The anxiety is probably weighing you down the same way it has been hitting me. Just knowing that I'm done and all the stuff that has to happen in the next few months (if that), NOT KNOWING WHEN just kills me. I don't know if any of you has experienced this, and I hope not ever, but ever since this boarding stuff started, I've been seeing a therapist due to random panic attacks. I've been in the Army for 9 years and have always endured the whole hurry-up-and-wait game and have blown past several stressful situations like it was normal. Everyone is used to it. However, I've been 10 times more stressed out to the point of getting sick to my stomach and have ended up in the hospital recently for muscle spasms in my upper back and neck area. You know what caused these muscle spasms? Stress. Anxiety. Depression. I felt like I was stuck and my family is suffering from it all. This isn't one of those moments where you just "drink water and move on." This is life now. Being faced with the reality that the future is blurry. IT'S SCARY! I will tell you this. I hope you all know that you're not alone. There is an end to it all. Things will get better. I look at all these other posters here in the forum, and I start to feel hopeful. If you start to panic, one way to remedy that is to notice that you're having a panic attack and that you'll be okay when it's over. Don't bottle anything in. Talk to your spouse, your partner, your friends, co-workers or even the chaplain. I didn't use the Chaplain, but one day she ran into me and talked me through things and even told me that she was glad that I knew that the Chaplain isn't the only resource.
Just to update you though, I got in touch with my contact rep. He told me that he couldn't discuss the proceedings but he gave me the final disposition. So as of this past Friday, the VA finished the ratings and the PEB came up with the findings. Which might be a good thing for you if your e-benefits says that it's complete. I'm not really happy with the DOD 20 and VA 70, but oh well. I don't think that it'll be worth my time to dispute that and add another 55+ days to my process. I'm done with the anxiety. I just want to sign my 199 and be out. I'll take the severance. Let me know how yours turns out.
Received my ratings of 20% Army and 70% VA. Signed my 199 today. Honorable discharge with severance pay. Since my disabilities are not combat related, I'll have 25% taxed on the severance pay. (Estimates) E-6 with 9 years will make severance $59, 454 so a 25% tax will bring that down to 44, 590.50. I guess I'll take it. Hopefully orders come in soon.
It looks like your timeline in IDES is like mine I am behind in every step minus one. and 45 days behind.
yeah it's frustrating. Since we believed that I was going to be on leave by October (and we are moving internationally) we sold most of our furniture and our second car. Now it's mattresses on the floor and praying that it doesn't take two months for the PEB findings to come back. LOL ... could be worse ...
