Both. Message me. I just went through MEB for crohns.

60% for sure just for being on biologics.

Was supposed to start this coming Wednesday. I guess I’m in limbo too. Once the government opens I can see there being a big backlog of getting orders processed.

Are there attorneys that handle CRSC and SSDI? I’d like to have one attorney who knows my case that can help me with CRSC and then SSDI, preferably one with doctor contacts for a one stop shop so to say. I should be retired by Dec 25th. I’m waiting on final ratings, but have been recommended...

How likely is a VARR to change the rating up? Is there another appointment with a provider or is it all just documentation? My DBQ was missing a lot. Many of the questions were never even asked.

Sounds like I’ll have to submit a VARR after I get the proposed ratings.

My NARSUM came back and is very detailed on an unfitting condition. However, the VES (VA contractor) examiner's write up is word for word what 30% is, when in reality all the documentation and NARSUM lean much more to the 50% rating. I have 7 days to sign yes/no on my MEB. Info below...

Out of curiosity, was the IBS from a deployment, and if so, what would the board look at (eating MRE's, Iraqi food, stress)? Thanks. Congrats on getting it.

When are the DBQs posted and where? I just finished last appointment and VA said my packet was sent to the raters. Will I see those DBQs on VES (the VA contractor) or MHS Genesis, or have to wait until it all comes back? Thanks.

That’s awesome the IPEB came back so fast. Any ideas why? I’m going through MEB at Fort Belvoir. Hoping mine moves fast. I’m waiting on my last appointment through VES.

Do you keep access to Iperms once discharged? Like with a username and password or is your retiree card a CAC? I’m wondering how much access to files I will still have.

Are there follow on appointments like X-rays bloodwork specialists etc? I’m scheduled for 4. Hearing. Eyes. General practitioner. Psych. Wondering if I’ll have more. Referred condition was Crohns. But with all my years I’ve got a lot of other little things. Thanks.

That’s great it went so fast. 7 appointments too. Any idea on why so many? Just a lot of conditions or did specialists have to weigh in? Are appointments hard to get? I have my inbrief this coming week.

I see on the timelines that the VA medical appointments seem to go fast. That is surprising given all of our experience with the Army and the VA medical system. Question: does one doctor knock out a bunch of exams? For instance, if I have a back, foot, and hand problem do I need to go to three...

I see 2nd P3 on there. Is that because they added another unfitting condition? I just got a P3 and referred to MEB and definitely have another unfitting condition. It’s just one doc fog to the P3 before the other. I’m hoping to add it to the whole thing early.
