I had similar issues. First thing you can do is submit copies of those records to your claim on va.gov. Highlight every mention of severity and frequency of your migraines. You can also contact the VA White House hotline and submit a ticket regarding those errors. I did that and it got the VA...

Looks like you may have missed a few lines of the Google Ads js script in your header. Got a few plain text lines floating at the top of your page.

The rating percentage doesn’t inform your fitness for duty. There a lot of conditions the VA will compensate for that are within your particular branch and career fields fitness standards. You’ll need to refer your service branch’s medical fitness standards to determine if your condition makes...

Today I want to discuss the VA’s VR&E program, or Chapter 31 Benefits. If you aren’t familiar with it, here is the link: Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31) | Veterans Affairs Bottomline, if you are in the IDES process, you are 100% eligible for this program no questions asked. You...

I wanted to provide some lessons learned and resources to those going through the IDES process to either make their transition a bit easier or facilitate resolutions to some common issues that arise during the process. 1) Career Readiness: If you don’t know what Operation Warfighter is, you...

Totally agree. I’m not particularly worried about my proposed rating apart from how it may have been impacted by the multiple errors made on my C&P exam. I can’t seem to get the VA to even accept additional supporting documents. From what I can gather, I basically have to wait the 2-3 months...

If there is I haven’t found it. I’ve been working a separate issue with the VA right now trying to correct some errors made on my C&P exams so I’ve spoken to my MSC and people at my regional office, at the call center, at DRAS, and the White House hotline while they fix that issue. I’ll make a...

I feel ya, I’ve hit a bit of a wall lately so I’m trying to hang in there. Especially with my behavioral health stuff this has been rough as far as the anxiety from it goes. Fingers crossed I can get some answers soon and just get this over with and not have to stress about it anymore.

Ah that makes sense. So if the ratings don’t change, considering that the VA rater just received my behavioral health records today and I was told my claim is still being evaluated AFTER my case was closed and my proposed rating was mailed out then could that mean the PEB added an unfit...

I’ve sort of figured that one out but I guess my main confusion here is how the VA finished a proposed rating if they are still actively working on my claim? Does the PEB use only the proposed ratings for the DoD conditions? Or does the VA only adjudicate the unfit conditions at first and then...

Does anyone know what ratings the PEB use for the 199? The VA finished my proposed rating on 06-Apr but said they are still working on adjudicating my claim including having just received additional medical documentation as of today. So it seems like the proposed rating isn’t even considered by...

Same ha I recently moved and thought that would help, emphasizing they may have mailed it to an old address but they just told me they’d mail it again lol

My case was closed with the VA yesterday. My care coordinator has access to the VA system so he told me the rating which doesn’t jive with the math we did. IDES legal had noticed SEVERAL errors on my C&P exams that were completely inconsistent with my medical history despite having reported...

I’m at the same point and I’ve been told it’s pretty fast. Assuming the PEB doesn’t object, it’s 1-2 weeks but that seems to vary wildly so I’d say if you haven’t heard anything in a few weeks to hit up your PEBLO. I emailed my PEBLO the day they closed it just to let him know I was tracking the...

Good Afternoon Everybody, I’m a new user but have been reading these forums religiously since starting my medboard process back in September. I’ve seen countless people on here discuss getting their preliminary ratings well before getting their 199. However, I’ve been told by both my MSC and...
