Also found the holy grail of the behind the scenes at the VA for IDES personnel: “M21-1 Part III Subpart i Chapter 2 Section D”. Tells you everything you need to know about how the VA processes every claim from MEB to post-military

Just had my findings review and I spoke to the VA about my discrepancies, the percentage rating from the PEB only stands as a way to gauge how entitled you are to receiving DOD pension, and a rating over the 75% limit isn't wrong or an administrative error as that only matters in-post. As for...

It means they've rated your claims, give them a call and ask for a benefits estimate letter and it'll have your proposed overall rating and award amount.

Good Afternoon All, Just got my findings in yesterday, 100% P&T for both DOD and VA. I have a couple of questions regarding aid and attendance benefits that I'm due to receive as well as the 100% DOD rating, which is extremely odd. I heard the max for DOD was 85% for non-concurrent retirees...

PEB update: Navy PEB has reopened after the holidays and is pushing claims! Happy New Year everyone!

Ask for a "benefits estimate letter" next time. They'll give you your proposed ratings. Thats what "BEL" means in you VA claim documents.

Yes to both, but i was saying moreso about the fact that the VA rates your claim regardless of PEB decision now to help expedite the process. They used to have to wait for the PEB to make a decision before the VA would rate your claim, but now they do both simultaneously.

Peblo told me, i thought they had made a decision already considering the VA closed my case, but ig the PEB doesnt work like that anymore

Update: the PEB finally reached a decision 17DEC and i should be getting my decision letter after the holidays!

I just called bc mines on leave too, apparently ive been in QA since the beginning of November and wont be hearing anything until the end of January

Did they reach out to you to tell you that or did you have to call and ask

So far my proposed rating from the VA is 100% w/ A&A

Unfortunately i dont think i can say anything pressing to expedite it, i dont have any responsibilities that are awaiting this (job, eaos, college, etc). The only thing i have is how long its been taking and thats it. It just sucks bc i have a kid coming around the corner in 2-3 weeks and i...

I wise man once told me “no updates man, sorry” that wise man was my peblo.

Is anyone here on a similar timeline to me? I've been waiting a total of 115 days since I signed my NARSUM on 18AUG24, the VA closed my claim 07NOV24, and I'm still waiting on my PEB findings.
