It makes sense that there would be some backlogs and impact of the consolidation of Army PEB cases to Ft. /JB Sam Houston. This could result in overflows at that base while they realign and work through the transition. In any event, I just learned that 50 cases have been transferred FROM Ft. Sam...

The Department of Defense recently updated the timelines for processing of IDES cases. The resource for DoD Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM)-18-004 – “Revised Timeliness Goals for the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES)," can be found here...

This DOD Directive Type Memo (DTM) updates the guidelines for time processing of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. (The DTM is stated as "DTM 18-004;" This seems like a new naming convention for DTM issuances. I have to think this is based on "18" being the year and, perhaps, "004"...
