Hello, just wanted to see if anyone has received their retirement/separation orders? My timeline is: -Sept 15- signed and accepted PDRL Then the PEB migration and shut down happened. - Nov 17- PEBLO notified me that they got the green light to submit my EOO How long until I see my orders?
Has anyone actually seen their final orders since the government re-opened? It's literally all I'm waiting on. My PEBLO said it usually takes a couple of days after you sign and return your DA Form 199. I've been waiting for 2 weeks with no further updates.
All, I have completed my MEDBOARD and I am being medically retired. Process went well and I got all I expected, so quite happy. Have a couple quick questions on the transition phase. 1. I recently signed my final DA199. PEBLO told me last night he would "post it" today (Wednesday 26NOV25 - day before Thanksgiving). When should expect final signature on the 199? Today? Friday after Thanksgiving (are people even working then)? Monday Dec 1st? Or later? 2. With the above in mind, when should I expect to see my PDIR published? Same time as 199 final signatures? 3. Also, what is in a PDIR? Can anyone share one to see what it looks like? 4. I understand that when the PDIR is published, it lists a 90-day NLT date for last day in the Army...
Hello, My case was referred for 1 condition and the MEB found two more conditions. They say that Ill need a LOD? and state if it becomes a NLOD Its possible to get a medical chapter instead. I'm lost in all of this and just looking for some more guidance, if possible, of any outcome, thanks in advance. Edit: I was told if they all need the LOD and it becomes a NLOD then the referral is null?
All, Was awaiting my fully signed DA199 and PDIR and got a call yesterday from the US Army Physical Disability Agency. From a guy looking to finalize and push out my PDIR and 199 to my transition point. He says they don't normally call, but I am ARNG T10 AGR (been on continuous Active Duty since mid-2010). He said he couldn't push it out as the last set of Active Duty orders in my file ended 31AUG25 (true). He was concerned I wasn't on Active Duty anymore, and that I should be. I told him I was still on Active Duty - new orders were cut for 01SEP25 to 31AUG27 so I would stay on thru separation (per regs). He said he needed those orders, sent me his email address, and I went back in the office and sent the new, current orders to him. He...
My RILO was sent up with "Do Not Retain", so I am doing some preparation for the likely outcome of a MEB. My condition on its own only rates 20% tops. Does this mean this is the most I can get from the DoD rating? Or can I also couple in secondary conditions with the DoD rating (ROM, migraines caused by it, etc.)? I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I just found this forum and I'm not quite sure how to navigate it yet.

I’ve been on active duty in the Army for almost 14 years and was recently diagnosed with Hepatitis B. My P3 profile says I am deployable but must have liver monitoring every six months. Both my PA and my specialist have documented that I am fit for duty. I’ve already been contacted by DES and completed the initial briefing. What are my chances of being found fit and allowed to continue serving? Would going through IDES give me a better chance of being found fit compared to LDES? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My PEBLO office doesn't bother to answer phone calls or emails and leadership can't get any info either. Hoping I can get some answers through here. I'm currently an AGR waiting on AFPC decision. Current timeline: 27 Nov 2024 - AAC 31/DAV 41 AMRO referral for General Anxiety Disorder 11 Feb 2025 - AAC 37/DAV 42 for MEB 14 April 2025 - IRILO packet sent to member 18 June 2025 - After several requested packet amendments, packet submitted to AFPC 23 June 2025 - Medical standards requesting copy of orders and PCARS/TAFMS 25 June 2025 - PEBLO sent to SGP for re-signature and then back to AFPC PEBLO hasn't communicated or answered my emails since then. I have no information on the status of my packet, however, when the IRILO packet was...
A Payment Method Was Used Across Multiple Google Accounts Google allows one payment method—such as a debit card or credit card—to be linked to more than one Google account. If another Google account linked to your card starts a YouTube TV subscription, the charge will appear on your bank statement even if you never signed up personally. This situation is especially common when: You share cards with family Your payment method is used on a shared device Your card is stored in someone else’s Google account If you’re unsure, reviewing your Google Payment Activity can help identify the source of the charges.

Hello, I spoke with my PEBLO yesterday and was informed that the PEB is accepting cases again and he would submit mine (18Nov). They should receive today. Do anyone know or have an idea of the time of the results of fit or unfit. I have also have read on different forums that the rating process is the longest. I have received a tentative rating letter from the VA already. Thoughts on if this would speed up the process. TIA
Team, I am at the tail end of my MEDBOARD. Got my reconsideration from the PEB and now moving onto a VARR. Have a couple questions relating to combat codes and tax-free/taxable ratios of retired military pay. So, I am ARNG with over 30 years of Service. Almost 24 years of Active-Duty Service and Chapter 1405 time. I believe will get my VARR back in about 6 weeks and be out of the Army somewhere in mid-Feb. That will give me about 23 Years, 10 Months, and some odd days of Active Service for my Retired Military Pay multiplier. I understand that I will get this Length of Service Retirement as I have already qualified for Regular Retirement. And I get concurrent receipt of my VA disability compensation. This would be an about 59.583% x my...
Is the PEB board back up? I am receiving mixed information. My PEBLO is telling me they have to have word to start submitting caseses to the PEB board. I am assuming because there was an updated done to the system on how they receive the cases. More than likely it was not completed because of the shutdown. I have been told by others that PEBLOs are able to submit cases. My trust in my PEBLO is about 50/50 right now. If anyone have in information on this, would be great. TIA
Reason for Delay: As many of you are aware, the Navy PEB experienced a software glitch with its new case management system- the Naval Disability Integrated Tracking System ("NDITS")- on September 11, 2025, which has effectively prevented it from adjudicating cases since that time. The term NDITS is likely not new to some of you, such as PERS-95, as they have been attempting to bring it online in one form or another since 2022. Three years later, it still faces problems, with the shutdown only exacerbating delays. Progress: As of today, some findings are being sent out via NDITS on previously adjudicated cases. I have received cryptic notices that two of my clients' cases have been adjudicated and have been sent to their PEBLOs for...
Hi all, I am a 22 Male, going through a MEB with the Airforce, struggling with multiple mental/neuro-psychological/physical conditions. Job is working as a Client Systems Tech (IT). Incredible overwhelmed with figuring this all out as a process. I got notified of my MEB last October 2024 after diagnosis of my "Unfit" condition per Medical Standard Directory, Hypersomnia due to a Medical Condition. I am wanting to get out and not be found fit for duty. I hope for a disability rating of 30%+ as I believe that's where healthcare costs are covered. questions 1. Do I need an attorney for this IDES Process going through my MEB and potential PEB? I saw people discussing this on the forum and wasn't too sure what cases people need one? If...
My PCM pushed my case up to the AMRO board and they reviewed my case on Wednesday 12 Nov. My PCM then messaged me stating I have to schedule an appointment with them to discuss what was talked about, their decision, plan for further action, and stated there were a lot of details to discuss. They didn't say anything about if the AMRO board decided to push for MEB or return back to duty (I've been returned to duty once before). I have an appointment with the provider on Monday the 17th but I am nervous on what the decision was since they won't tell me anything until the appointment. I have been trying to MEB and get out for a couple years now with no luck even though I haven't been able to take a full PT test since 2017 and I've been full...
