I have been coming here since my MEB started. I figured I would add my timeline as well. I get some relief knowing others are going through the process as well. I would like to thank all for the information they provide, as it helps me get through this week by week and day by day. I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy, at least that is the current diagnosis. Symptoms started summer of 2016 and only worsen since. Whatever the outcome I just want some kind of relief.

Here is my timeline so far:

Good luck!

You should be getting a MyPers message next telling you that your package is being reviewed at AFPC. Then it's the wait for the fit/unfit decision time :)
 
I guess I really have to keep asking my PEBLO for updates. Things keep getting delayed without my knowledge. I thought my package was sent up 2 weeks ago. Turns out it was not and was missing something. PEBLO is already a month behind as it is. He said today it will be sent up. Hoping for the best.

8 Jan - Finally got my package sent to AFPC
11 Jan - Received message from myPers that my package was received
 
26 Jan - PEBLO updated me, found unfit. Now waiting for ratings.
Feeling a little bit of the weight lifted of my shoulders but still stressed.
 
You should get another Mypers message when the package is forwarded to the VA. Once that is done, the package goes back to AFPC where they apply the ratings and then another Mypers message when ratings are ready (with your PEBLO).

I know somewhere it says the VA will mail you your ratings, and to call them if you have not received them within 10 days, but do not stalk your mail box. They unfortunately do NOT mail them for MEB folks. That is more for people applying on their own after they are out.
 
Received and email from VA Rep handling my case and he need additional info about my dependents for my 686c. Looks like things are getting more real. At least things are progressing.
 
Yep, dependents changes the VA pay. Wishing you the very best.
 
VA rep, verified they have a proposed rating which will be mailed to my MSC. Fingers crossed I will know by next week. Ironically I am WAPS testing on Feb 12.
 
received the mypers email saying PEBLO has my decision. Waiting for them to contact me.
 
Received Proposed Ratings: DoD 50% / VA 70% Permanent Retirement.

Not sure how much time I will left have after I sign.

8 Jan Package was delayed for whatever reason, finally sent off
11 Jan mypers message - received package
26 Jan contacted PEBLO, said I was unfit
30 Jan VA asked for dependent info
6 Feb received proposed ratings DoD 50%/ VA 70%
7 Feb Signed 1180; waiting for next step
 
13 Feb I received my order. They have my retirement date for 28 May. Which does not give me much time to take leave plus PTDY. I talked with my PEBLO and he emailed the VA MSC to see if we can push it to June. This would be easier if I was stateside.
 
No change in my orders so, I will be out-processing and out of here in about a month. Bittersweet but best choice for me and my family.
 
Back from a long break.
Feels like transitioning is taking forever. Finally able to get into the VA medical system and had a few test completed over the last couple of months. This last one was for a MRI. A lot of medical jargon about several of my discs, which could be part if not all of my neuropathy problems. It may not solve my issues but it could answer the mystery.
