It did work for me. I also did a rebuttal at the NARSUM stage concerning my migraines. Honestly, my DBQs didn't hold much weight. My medical records were enough evidence for higher ratings than most of the DBQs reflected.

17 Oct ---- MEB initiated (Profile signed) 31 Oct --- DES brief 4 Dec --- PEBLO contact 28 Dec to 3 Jan ---- DBQ's completed 5 Feb ---- NARSUM received 10 Feb ---- Legal 12 Feb ---- NARSUM rebuttal 1 March ---- New NARSUM received w/ added unfit condition 14 March ---- FIT/UNFIT decision 20...

Your PEBLO probably just dropped the ball on calling or emailing you with the FIT/UNFIT decision. There isn't any formal document, just an email or phone call. If your claim was closed on VA.gov, then a decision on fitness has already happened. Did you receive a copy of the glidepath with...

Figured I would throw up a timeline if anyone needed it for comparison. My MEB/PEB seems like it's moving decently fast, even though I'm on an AFB and going through Stewart. I am an AD Army CW3 at over 20 years. Side note: I submitted for retirement in August, retirement orders signed back in...

I already uploaded a 4138 and an MFR. Scheduling ROM measurements tomorrow with my orthopedic surgeon.

Either way. I'll be contacting them

That's what has me irritated. I know they hold a lot weight, but the MSC wants to downplay them. I wish he just didn't check boxes. He checked boxes that were incorrect and put remarks that were the opposite of what was stated and in records. I'll be calling them tomorrow, but I dont see much...

21 years active duty. Was referred for lumbar back issues (herniated disc, etc). My DBQs were uploaded today, so I went through them and found two were grossly inaccurate. 1. Lower back issues (referred condition). First issue with this DBQ is ROM. Examiner marked 45 degrees flexion. During the...
