IPEB Timeline

I am currently going through the PEB process. My PEBLO sent my MEB package to IPEB on 13 Jun 24. She said that the Action Officer has 48 hrs from the time she submits the package to open it and start working on it which would put it to today (17 Jun) at the latest for the Action Officer to start. My PEBLO also stated that the Action Officer has 12 duty days to decide fit/unfit and if unfit then they reach out to the VA for the ratings and the VA has 16 duty days to send those back making it a total of 28 duty days for me to find out if I am fit or unfit. I only have 1 condition they are considering for MEB. Is the 28 duty days realistic for only 1 condition?
 
Do you have any insight or updates on the length of time it took for you?
I'm in a similar boat, findings sent on July 1st for a single condition and now playing the waiting game.

I am still waiting on my results, but I do know for sure that the VA has my case and they can see that I am in IDES. I've been putting in requests to the VA for an update. They usually get back within a day. If you log in to your VA account and go to Contact Us->Ask VA-.Create New Inquiry, you can put in a request. Under the first category click Compensation, then under topic section, click Status of pending claim, then the rest is self explanatory.
 
My PEBLO sent the packet 24 May. Still pending. This morning I had messages that they want to do more exams (my last DBQ was 21 March). I just did an inquiry on VA per your description.

Found out this morning (7/10) that the VA has completed my proposed rating yesterday. Now just waiting on my PEBLO to reach out. Hope y'all get results quickly.

I submitted an inquiry (thank you for educating us!!!). How do you typically get the response? I have been logging into va.gov and checking my email

Let's say you put Email for your contact method (there's a drop down where you can change it to phone or something else before submitting inquiry), whatever your email is on your account, you will get an email stating that the VA has responded and then you can login and the status would have changed from "New" to "Solved". There's been times where I log in and the status states "In Progress". Hope this helps.

Thank you!! I went back into va.gov and found the response. It looks like they are still waiting on the fit or unfit decision. I have called va numerous times and the answers I received were very vague. The inquiry response actually gave me some clarity and peace of mind. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention!!

Any updates for y'all? I will be finding out my ratings today and will be signing. I was able to get my claim letter from the VA and I have a proposed combined rating of 90% which means my MEB condition is probably 70%. When I found out my claim was closed I was told that they were mailing my letter the next day and that I should have access to my online letter the next day. I didn't so I called this morning and thankfully the individual was great and emailed my claim letter right away which had my proposed combined rating.
Hope all goes well with y'all and the process is close to the end for y'all.

Congratulations!!! I contacted my PEBLO this AM and he told me I was found unfit on 10 July 24 (sent to IPEB on 27 Jun 24). Honestly, I was more nervous for the fit/unfit decision than the ratings because I couldn’t imagine another 4 years of having to deal with the military and my conditions. That being said, I called the VA this AM too and was given the standard, “no proposed ratings…contact your MSC because you are going through the DES process…etc”. Honestly, I would like for them to speed up the propososed rating process but I am okay just knowing it is almost over with. Congratulations again!

Thanks!
I was the same way. I was more worried about the fit/unfit portion. But then I was just anxious to know what my rating was.
Hope you get your proposed rating soon.

Hell yeah.. Congrats man. So from your 618 being signed to signing your 1180 it looks like about a month? I'm banking off your timelines here lmao.
Signed my 1180 today
70% DoD (PDRL); 90% VA
Was told 2-4 weeks for my orders to be generated

Roughly a month. I signed by 618 12 Jun. The longest wait from signing my 618 to signing my 1180 was the VA rating which took about 1.5 weeks.

Okay cool, the 1180 is the paper you sign after finding out your ratings correct? Sorry I'm stationed at Dyess and my PEBLO is good but I think there's just some things that are getting lost in translation.

Yes. The 1180 is the form that you will be signing stating that you agree to the findings or want to appeal the findings. The findings themselves (at least for me) is a separate piece of paper that I got during the same appointment that just has the DoD rate and if you are being separated or retired.
 
Whenever y'all sign your 1180, I was informed by my SMSgt to check PRDA often cause there have been multiple times where people are waiting on orders just to find out that they had orders in PRDA for months.
 
Found out this morning (7/10) that the VA has completed my proposed rating yesterday. Now just waiting on my PEBLO to reach out. Hope y'all get results quickly.
I am pending from 21May and
