I got copy of my Unfit memo today. I'm wondering what is V1,V3 and V4 yes on my memo.Lol, my question was a smart @#$ question... I know it's to the Service Member's benefit.
What do I can expect as far as VA rating

I did.
V1,V2,V4 refers to section V (5) of the new 199. It was combat related status. They replaced 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d
V1 = combat operations / Combat simulated / Extra hazardous duty (Tax free disability pay for affected part)
V3 = Service before 24 Sept 1975 - old 10b (Tax free disabilty)
V4 = Combat related 26 USC 104 or 10 USC 10216 (tax free seperation pay)
I have no idea why this isn't anywhere posted on the internet regarding these codes. I have them on my unfit memo. I don't have my 199 yet. I should have it soon. My package was completed by the VA and sent back to the PEB on 15NOV12.
Give yourself some time. Unless you are expidited, or any service (not the Army), plan on 2-3 months before you will see a 199.
Were you able to get a copy of your proposal?
I was told both by my Nurse Case Manager and my MSC that it should be like 2-3 weeks.
I hope you are right. Just asking JBLM to do a minor correction (combat-rated) on my 199 has taken 2 1/2 months.
I never got a copy of the proposal. Here is my timeline:
28SEP12 NARSUM signed and sent to the PEB at Fort Lewis
4NOV12 package went from the PEB to the VA
7NOV12 ebenefits changed from gathering evidence to preparing for decision
14NOV12 ebenefits changed to pending decision approval
spoke to the VA and they informed me they sent the package to the PEB on 15NOV12.
I hope this helps you to determine if it is expedited or not.
I am sorry to hear that you have been in it for 8 months. I believe that no Soldier should be in this for over 6 months. I am in my 4th month since it was initiated. I have only one disqualifying condition and two qualifying (Army) conditions. I know the ratings have been done. I just curious how long the 199 should be.
With the speed of everything else, your NCM is probably right. A week to you seems to equal a month to me.
I am sorry to hear that. When I get out I am going to try to work in the PEB or MEB portion of this as a civilian and try to expedite Soldier's process or at least try to keep Soldier's informed on their stuff.

You can get your proposed ratings before your 199?
