Not sure the exact date, but I signed my NARSUM and gave it to my PEBLO the first week of June. Not sure how long it took them to send it off, but when I look in My navy portal it shows a pending TDLR/PDLR with a date of 6/11.. so I'm not sure if that's the date the PEB received it or that's the date I was found unfit. But essentially to answer your question it was most likely the 2nd week of June that the PEB got it.

I was told I’m in the “pending decision approval” phase at the VA. Anyone know an estimate of how long until
I get my letter?

It depends on your time line from when your package was sent to peb and when you were found unfit. As soon as you are found unfit, your case is forwarded to VA for rating which takes about 2 months depending individuals case which may be longer or real quick. If it’s up to a month your case was sent to peb, then expect your rating any moment from now
It was sent up on June 27th so. You think any moment hopefully?
Expect your ratings to be out tentatively by the end of this month. That is, if you don't have an issue with your paperwork, everything moves smoothly.
I hit 9 weeks tomorrow and I’m so envious of everyone else getting ratings lol My MSC sucks and won’t reach out to check on my case smh
mine wouldn't either, so I called a different MSC and he was the man, kept tabs on my case and was the one to call me about my rating when it came in.
Did you request a new one? Or could you tell me how you went about contacting another one? lol I’m getting desperate
I didn't request a new one. They had the numbers posted outside the PEBLO office I think. I was actually just trying to get a hold of mine and he never answered after a few attempts so I called a different number and the new MSC answered and was just super helpful asking what I needed help with. Just a good guy honestly, might be very hit and miss trying to have a different one help you out tho

COUNT 9 WEEKS FROM 27TH. IT SHOULD BE OUT A FEW DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER THE 27TH
Called the VA and they said my findings letter Is sent back to the PEB on the 14th and that I should receive a Letter in the mail in 7-10 business days. Does anyone know when this will upload to Va.gov for me to see?
Stationed on MCAS Miramar here. Case was accepted by PEB on 02 July 2025 in MOL. Talked to my PEBLO again today, still no word of even a determination. I continually see other timelines of people's fit/unfit determinations coming in less than two weeks so hopefully I hear something soon. Has anyone had any experience with it taking this long (about 6 weeks so far)?
I’m currently 7 weeks in and still have not been told unfit or fit. And I was told as of today that my VA ratings letter will be sent back to the PEB on the 14th
Damn you got your FPEB date fast af, congrats. I felt like I was going insane waiting on mine. Now go get retired!
I got my FPEB date super fast too (notified a few days after I rejected the IPEB findings, and the FPEB was set for only 2 weeks later)
Here's a copy of my timeline that I posted elsewhere (I'm Navy, East Coast):
Aug 2024 - Placed LIMDU
Nov 2024 - MEDBOARD submitted
Dec 2024 - Start C&P exams
Jan 2025 - Final C&P exam
Mar 2025 - All C&P results back, PEBLO sent package to DC
May 2025 - Informal PEB findings received, Informal PEB found FIT, DoD rating 0%/ VA rating 100%
May 2025 - Did NOT accept Informal PEB findings, requested Formal PEB (hoped for unfit finding and placement on TDRL)
Jun 2025 - Formal PEB request granted, scheduled for 2 weeks later
July 2025 - Formal PEB via Microsoft Teams, received same-day stipulation with UNFIT finding and recommended placement on TDRL (due to SECNAV PTSD requirement)
Aug 2025 - Still waiting for PEBLO to send me the official results of the FPEB; I have been told I could be out within 30-60 days.
Just got the call from the PEB office to come in a sign for my findings. VA case was closed on Monday (August 11th) and so it only took about 3 days for the PEB to do my rating and send it back. Going to post this on a new thread as well, but wanted to add it here since I had been posting on here. Sorry for clogging up this thread lol
My PEBLO was difficult answering this, but my MSC looked up the answer right away.
you can try to call the VA claim status line at 1(800)-827-1000 and ask to see if your claim was found fit or unfit. If they say over the phone that they are still waiting on the PEB then they havent made a determination yet.
