So yours seemed to go a little quicker than most. I know I will be getting out it’s just a question if it will be a retirement or a medical separation.If it's any consolation. I started my MEB in August 2017. I was medically retired on March 1, 2018.
Mine took about 2 or 3 weeks. You may get a call from a nurse down at AFPC too and she will ask more questions. The day after I talked to her, I was notified of a full MEB.
My mental health meb took about 5 months from when my provider sent in the letter about my mental health condition to when the peblo got the determination back.Hi question for you all. I am just beginning the MEB process an I’m waiting on my NARSUM to be completed. I’m getting MEBd due to mental health reasons. My question is do mental health MEBs go faster than a regular MEB?
I just went through for a referred condition for mental health. It took about 8 months from start to finish for me, with no appeals.
Try not to post the same question in a bunch of places.
The DAWG determining you unfit is going to be different than the MEB determining you unfit. You're in the initial stage, but since your VA appointment is already next week you're doing well! You're looking at absolute best case, everything goes super fast, you turn all documentation in early and don't appeal any decisions two- three months from now best case. That's if the VA, your base and the MEB are ahead of their timelines...so I wouldn't count on that.
More than likely you could be looking at closer to six, up to a year if you need to appeal something or see the VA again.
For example, my IRILO came back unfit in December...I had my VA appointments first week of Feb where I was diagnosed with PTSD w/MDD...a brand new diagnosis unrelated to the shoulder injury and migraines I was MEB'd for. I have my last VA appointment TOMORROW. So you can see there is a massive difference between what timelines can look like
Question. I got diagnosed with MDD and possibly PTSD today at my VA appointment when I went for adjustment behavior. Will they add that to my claims and rate me for that or not?
