Sorry for the delayed response and catch-up. Was traveling for work yesterday. In IDES. Reserve deployment. She did initial PEBLO briefing in April, all C&P exams reused (were 8-13 months old), claimed all rated conditions. PTSD was the only one referred. PEBLO called 45 minutes before the...

Thanks Dave. I was under the impression that the 5 day clock started when you received counseling, not when they just emailed the packet. I already found two issues myself. 1) There is no NARSUM, only a 3947 2) She claimed a TBI on the 526EZ; it was already service-connected last year. Not on...

My wife's PEBLO at Fort Eisenhower called her at 2:32pm and tried to setup a conseling call for today, Wednesday, to go over her packet at 3:15pm on the same day.

Thanks a ton for the information. This process seems to go too fast to learn on the fly.

My lovely wife is under 10 years in the Army reserves and on a 2022 deployment to Erbil / Syria, was sexually assaulted while in the shower. Restricted report, VA rating 50% for PTSD. Wasn't looking for a board out, but at her last year's medical, she mentioned headaches due to TBI, also...
