My husband has been a Marine for 13 years. He was referred to the MEB on Feb 16th 2011.
Here is his timeline (the condensed version)...
2/16/2011.....Put on Limited Duty - Referred to MEB for TBI (also back & knee injuries)
5/12/2011.....Initial meeting w/ MEB case worker - Disability Eval Signed
May to July 2011.....VA Appointments
10/14/2011.....(148 days since Initial meeting w Case Worker) MEB findings & NARSUM Complete
11/4/2011......(169 days) MEB Case worker contacts us - MEB Package & Recommendations Ready to review - did not request "Impartial Medical Review"
11/30/2011.....(195 days) MEB Package sent to PEB
12/2/2011.....EAS - Extended due to pending PEB
2/29/2012.....(286 days) Admin Separation proceedings started - due to being overweight (3/2011, 8/2011, 10/2011) Body Composition Program failed to make progress
3/5/2012.....Admin Sep proceedings STOPPED - (side note- told that 45 days of leave is too many, he must take leave)
3/16/2012.....Started 28 days of leave - Told by 1Sgt that an email was rcv'd that PEB findings are in - PEBLO knows nothing of such an email
3/20/2012.....Contacted PEBLO - says PEB findings are not in - should be in week or 2
3/26/2012.....(312 days since MEB started, 115 since sent to PEB) Informed that Competency Review Board being held Fri (3/30) for being overweight (same as Admin Sep. on 2/29)
My question: Can they put him on a Competency Review Board for being overweight while on Limited Duty? (My husband has contacted legal, so far they say they don't know)
Any ideas on what we can do (or can't do) at this point?
Thank you.
