Posting my timeline to help others gage a possible timeline on when they would get results. Remember though that every case is different!

We’re similar timeframes and my legal assistant said the same exact thing. Lol

Yeah I've seen a lot of people being accepted around our time. Congrats though! I'm eating a lot of my leave days in February and I hope to get my findings by the time I'm done with leave or while I'm still on it since I'd be over 6 months at that point!

Have you checked out basically all the way? I have leave days too and I’m trying to decide when to take them

First thing S-1 told me was be ready to decide between using my leave or PTAD but most likely not both since my EAS could be as soon as the end of February and there just wouldn’t be time to get everything taken care of if I took both.

I have not even checked out at all lol, they place your EAS by how many leave days you have so I figure the less I have, the shorter it is to my EAS. I can start checking out whenever though.

I'm shooting for using PTAD.

Oh okay. Thanks!
 
Update: As of today, January 13th, my VA claim was placed in a closed status since it was updated on June 22nd, does anyone knows what this means?
 
So if you get ptad can you use that then 40 days of leave to add to 60 days. I’m confused about this leave thing and want to be ready when I get the call so I gtfo asap

It will depend on what your command says. Yes you can combined leave with the PTAD. Mine says up to 60 days terminal. Everyone is different just ask.

I believe if you are taking leave in the local area you can take them in conjunction with each other, if not then you have to check back in from ptad and go on terminal.

That sounds about right to me. I've never seen ptad taken in conjunction with leave.

There are two types of PTAD, 3 if you want to get technical but the 3rd is rarely done and I honestly can't remember how to explain it. The first common type is incremental PTAD which is when you take PTAD Monday through Friday but you check in every monday, and then you have to be back on one full day before starting terminal leave so you can check out and get your DD214. The other is transitional where you take PTAD in conjuction with your terminal leave, and that's when you can take all 20 days and add them to your terminal leave, so basically "free" leave days. That way you check out completely and you receive your DD214 the day you start your PTAD.

I have not seen a command refuse PTAD, but I know IPAC on Camp Lejeune requires a 14 day work period to work your separations.
