Yes, my last follow up with my PEBLO was around Dec. 9 and at the time she said they had a 900+ case backlog, so I'm sure it's only gotten worse.
Except I submitted to the PEB in Sept and still haven't got the initial results. My VA finished Oct 2, though I do believe the VA had relooked at my stuff and resubmitted at the end of Nov due to the Ingraham case thing.

Occasionally they respond but it’s usually out of annoyance because I will keep emailing them until they say something
