Y Yeah that is what I am confused about. All of my stuff came back at once, and my PEBLO said that she wouldn't know fit or unfit until it came back as a package. At which point I received, UNFIT, DOD and VA findings all at once.

Did your PEBLO notify you prior to the like official package from them coming back? I feel like not all the PEBLO's have access to do that or are willing to

Mine was almost exactly 1 month from when the PEB had everything including my VA ratings

Awesome!! So close to the end. The VARR was so much quicker than we expected tbh -- my lawyer was very shocked.

Writing this update because I didn't find a lot of info on the VARR process. We submitted an updated DBQ from my original surgeon and a personal statement. They came back relatively quickly--JAG was expecting 2-3 months and we got it back from the VA and PEB in one. EMBR Referral 9/30/25 MEBAA...

I was referred to MEB on 1 Oct and my findings from the PEB with the re-evaluation request came back two weeks ago. Here is my full timeline: EMBR Referral 9/30/25 MEBAA Original Approval of Referral 10/27/25 PEBLO Initial Contact 10/7/25 IDES Legal brief 11/4/25 First VA Appt 11/17/25 Last VA...

Mine seemed to go fairly fast as well; I think when it is a relatively straightfoward diagnosis/plan, they speed through. My entire process was roughly 1 Oct - mid-March and I did a VARR, so roughly 5.5 months during the holidays and the long govt. shutdown.

I actually got an automated email from "secnav.navy" and it said " A findings letter for NDITS Case # IDES-25-##### / VTA Case # #### has been delivered to the PEBLO." So then I immediately called her and she told me the findings + gave me my ratings.

It really did.. I am really grateful -- the VARR they said is going to take 4-8 weeks, so hopefully the luck keeps up.

Update: Findings came in today! We will be submitting a VARR for the DOD %age. EMBR Referral 9/30/25 MEBAA Original Approval of Referral 10/27/25 PEBLO Initial Contact 10/7/25 IDES Legal brief 11/4/25 First VA Appt 11/17/25 Last VA Appt 11/20/25 VA Received Appts -- 12/1/2025 Exams released -...

I have the same sentiment

Sorry, I meant the "case" with MNCC.. Is that just to inquire when you can separate?

What is that?

The JAG I spoke to when I was submitting my paperwork to the IPEB (29 Dec) said to expect to receive everything back mid-March and if "all goes well and its what I want" he said "late-April to mid-May" before DD-214 in-hand. So he was expecting 6-8 weeks after signing findings. This was also...
