It appears that the site is now down, I don't know if its just a maintenance issue or if they simply just disabled it. Is there a regulation that provides a guideline to ensure that they're in compliance? I don't want to stir the pot but feel like we are at the mercy of them without anyone to speak with.I would also point out that neither the PDBR nor the BCMR reading room captures all of the decisions. I have had several cases that have never been updated or captured by the reading room website. (I don't like to infer or speculate or buy into conspiracy theories....that said, some of the cases have very favorable outcomes for the member but somehow have not been posted).
Bottom line, I believe you can use the site as a rough guide and nothing more.
this page shows nothing anymore. looks like it was shut downThis site is updated about every three to four months but I do know for fact it is not monthly. I am thinking the next update should be in March no later than April.
Lyria, where did you get your information from, and how long did it take for the PDBR to send you your decision? I also recited an email from the PDBR today saying they sent my paperwork off to the Army. But when I called HRC, my paperwork wasn't in the system. But I did ask HRC if they make the decision. They said no. They get the decisions from PDBR. But I am to receive my decision from PDBR not the Army. Run around again probley
I guess I'm also in the same boat.info is the following. Infantry soldier from seo 1990 and medically separated March 2005.
Army Peb. 20% Dec 2004
VA 70% . July 2005
Received letter to apply for pdbr Aug 2013
Submitted application through Lawyers serving warriors (NVLSP) Oct 30 2013.
Dec 2013 the agree to represent me and requested all my records with VA and DOD.
May 2015 NVLSP received the requested records. After a lawsuit to the VA.
May 10 2015. My case was forwarded to the Law Firms of Lathan and Watkins.(free)
June 2015, my PDBR application was sent with an additional 84 pages. I was surprised with how personally the law firm review my records and the accuracy.
Sep 2015 received from. The USAF the receipt of my application along with the Doc Number
Dec 1 2015. My case was in final adjudication with the PDBR.
As of today, I have my fingers cross and waiting for the final decision. With all the confusion and knowing that I was going to take longer, I decided to use the NVLSP team and no matter the outcome and even if it's taking longer than usul and with all the confusion I don't regret it.
Did anyone use the NVLSP and received a positive results?
Apr 10 submitted an increase with the VA and also new conditions
I used NVLSP and had success. As mentioned above, they were very thorough and detailed about my case. Good luck!Did anyone use the NVLSP and received a positive results?
pbart77.I am using NVLSP and I am glad I did. I just received my packet last week to sign. They made a much stronger case than I could have possibly made. I knew I was wronged, but it was more of a "that can't be right" thing than anything else. The Lawyers through the NVLSP pinpointed exactly where the PEB got it wrong, and how they applied the wrong rules in my case. If I had just submitted it on my own I would not have been able to point the PDBR at a specific error. I would have simply asked them to look at it again. I am hopeful that while this process has taken more time upfront, it will pay off in the long run. based on your timeline it appears to be moving through the process a little quicker than others in this forum. I am assuming that may have to do with having a roadmap to a decision given to the board, rather than them having to review your file and look for mistakes themselves.
Good Luck!!!
Franky, I hope to have a similar outcome as you. I'm very happy with the NVLSP and i hope the board final decicion is change to retirement. Its hard but somehow i have to be prepared for any outcome. Thank you for your time and God Bless.I used NVLSP and had success. As mentioned above, they were very thorough and detailed about my case. Good luck!
