    MEB doctor's shoulder assessment doesn't match up with VA C&P Exam. What can I expect for my DoD rating?

    If your shoulder is your only referred condition, then yes it will be for the DOD rating. You could look at adding an addendum, especially for the mental health, if another condition is bad enough. C & P exams can go either way. It is questionable that your doctor did passive ROM rather than...

    PEBLO Unresponsive

    Going through NMCP as well. Sounds familiar to my PEBLO. They must all go through the same exact customer service training.

    Tricare online

    Just being able to log in is available to all service members. You can check under your Blue Button to see if the VA uploaded your DBQs though.

    Did you call the ombudsman at your command or where your PEBLO works, if they are different?

    Each case is unique but, unfortunately, I know several sailors waiting over 12 weeks after sending their case.

    If you are going through the IDES process, the proposed ratings are sent to your PEBLO. I know some PEBLOs tell the servicemembers, but I'm pretty sure they are not required to. You are able to call the VA and ask to have them if your eBenefits case has been closed. Again they are not required...

    My Timeline

    Good afternoon, Here is my timeline for the IDES process with 2 referred conditions. I started almost exactly when everything shut down for COVID and it seemed for awhile my case was always at the bottom of the pile because I have seen dozens of servicemembers pass me both on here and at my...

    PEB DECISION

    Getting proposed ratings from the VA requires the "right person" to answer the phone. Most will say that your PEBLO has to give them to you because that is who they are mailed to. To see if you have proposed ratings, check eBenefits/ VA.gov and check if you have a closed claimed. If so, you can...

    Proposed Ratings

    All, I have received my proposed ratings from the VA. I was just wondering what the likelihood of them changing and/ or if anyone has experienced their proposed ratings being changed while the case is at PEB. Thank you.

    Timeline and suggestions in general

    Pain management is an extremely large specialty. If your clinic has limitations and only shots ask to be referred out in town. The reverse happened to me and they sent me to a civilian first who only wanted me to do shots and opioids. I am at NMCP (Navy) with the IPMC clinic now, for example...

    Timeline and suggestions in general

    Absolutely not. Deal with everything while you are in with guaranteed and (hopefully) easily accessible healthcare. The timelines are all over the place at the moment. In the last few months I have seen timelines from 2 weeks - 12 plus. The military will keep you in to treat you until they have...
