He was just waiting on orders, although we finally got an answer after contacting our Senator. He had not made any commitments, but that was the problem - he was being told they *might* give him 30 days' notice, but to search for jobs with no idea of when he would get out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the timeline for medical retirement, or who to contact to get information? My partner is getting no information, and being told that he could get out any time in the original given timeline (April-May), or well-after (into next fall?) because his command...

My partner is being discharged, and is getting the run around about when he will be separated. When he was first given his ratings, he was told he could pick his date (between 45 and 90 days from acceptance, unless requesting PLD through his command) and now they are saying he can't pick his...

UPDATE: - My partner, with the support of his command, community, and community and local personnel, sent a waiver to BUMED for a courtesy review while awaiting PEB results. BUMED responded that under no circumstances would they approve a waiver to return to submarine service. He was told there...

My partner finally received his PEB results. While they are not want we wanted, there will be no appeal for a variety of reasons. However, he was told that the latest date that he can retire is 19 MAY. He was told their is a chance that he could get PLD for an extension, and his chain is...

I see your timeline, but my partner's said "Decision Notification Sent" - not one of the options above. SHould he expect something physically in the mail? We thought the info came from the PEBLO who has been saying, "two weeks, two weeks" every step of the journey thus far. According to...

My partner has been waiting 9 weeks. He was told his has been in the area the longest but they don't go by time in time out so it could be whenever. Last week he was told, "probably. within 4 weeks" but he has been told that every few weeks since the dang PEB started.

Thanks! That's helpful!

For the purposes of retirement pay after a medical retirement, can anyone point me to resources determining how that pay is calculated? For instance, my partner has held a particular rank for 3 years, but only if you count the time that was a spot promote before he "permanently" received the...

I understand the frustration. My partner is at about the same point you are, meanwhile we have to wait to see what's going on. We were told we were PCSing this fall (before sh*t hit the fan) so I am not working because we were moving, and now we sit here with reduced pay, expecting the same...

Ordie4life: It looks like you and my partner are in the same boat. 23 DEC is when his info was sent back to the PEB from the VA, with no information since then for him.

My partner is currently in the PEB process. It is our understanding that he was found unfit and his ratings have been determined, but we are already beyond the time when he was told notification would be made, so who knows on that. However, he really wants to stay in, and as part of the...

My partner's claim was closed on 23 DEC 15 and we were told QA would close and formal notification of unfit and ratings done in 2-4 weeks. Well, today was 4 weeks, and the response from the PEBLO and the attorney was, "probably this week or next week." That's what we have been hearing for nearly...

Has anyone had experience being deemed fit for continued service with a diagnosis of MS? My partner is trying to remain in the submarine service, but is being told he will likely be deemed unfit, despite it having literally no impact on his ability to perform his duties (as confirmed by COs and...

Looking at that chart, is the fit/unfit ruling separate from the ratings, then? It was my understanding they come together? Also, it says "preliminary board rating 15 days" but is that 15 days from a certain time? As for the PEBLO, I stand by my evaluation of that. He has been told his file is...

Partner's package was submitted late August. Received information late November that IPEB found him unfit. He has not received information about ratings. A few questions: - How long does it normally take after the PEBLO says he's been ruled unfit to get the information with ratings? - Will...

Is there a guideline for determining fitness with a condition that is possibly unstable? For instance, my partner (Navy) is currently in the PEB process (we have received information that he was deemed unfit at the IPEB but have not received notice) for MS. He, however, is able to perform all of...
