    Fort Carson Timeline

    Wow. It should be soon then. I think it mostly depends on which VA regional center is managing your case. The MEB Docs are Carson make it clear that they are the fastest in DOD for processing their medboards. I think it has a bit to do with the regional claims center that Colorado falls under as...

    Pelvic stress fracture chronic pain

    That’s good news! It’s also good that you got along with the provider. Mine were kind of detached during the examinations. I tried to make a dad joke to break the ice and the provider wrote that I am happy. Ended up being contradictory to the rest of their statement though. Glad the statements...

    This is good. It means they actually are looking at your case and trying to clarify things!!

    Congratulations! Glad it’s finally moving forward. It’s a hassle to be stuck in limbo.

    Command directed mental health evaluation

    Possibly her psychologist, psychiatrist, or LC Social Worker would be the one to put in a P3 profile. In the Army, she is almost certainly seeing a psychologist monthly for depression. Psychiatrists are sometimes reserved for the more complex mental health disorders in my experience (literally)...

    IDES/MED

    You can contact your OMBUDSMAN, so they can poke or prod someone at the MEB to process the case. Most larger Army Bases have several of them. They represent you if something isn't happening like it's supposed to or you were wronged. You can probably google them. The Ombudsman will tell you if...

    Ratings but still open on ebenefits

    I rec'd a letter asking for some more information for them. Instead of waiting the 30 days they would have waited for me to "not respond", I sent a message via my MSC saying I didn't have the document they were looking for. I also thinking it depends on region. In my original VA letter there...

    Ratings but still open on ebenefits

    and SFL Tap lol. I did the 3 days online, resume, budget, job applications, etc in one day. It was terrible. Death by JKO. I don't understand why they force job applications if I clearly told them I'm not going to go work with VA, GI bill, and SSDI. The system is a bit rigid and unmoving. I'm...

    FIT or UNFIT

    My EAS was early April. 90 days out. Depends on if you base has a 30 day or 90 day policy.

    FIT or UNFIT

    My PEBLO had everything in hand about 4 business days after that. They said mail, but I think the PEBLO receives things digitally. Just a hunch.

    JBLM MEB Timeline

    I agree on the OMBUDSMAN. They are your advocate after all. That's seriously a long time to wait. That's practically my entire case.

    Fort Carson Timeline

    Also, of note : 9 JAN 19 - Came down on the retirement list. It can take 10 days, so the one day turn around was unprecedented. My future timeline now looks like 1 FEB PTDY, followed by trans leave, leading up to 26 March which is my retirement day. That will mean I am a Vet as of 1 April and...

    Fort Carson Timeline

    Yeah the TDRL is mandatory now. The VA Made it permanent though. I'm not worried much about the DOD part to be honest. The chances of me being fount fit are unlikely. Even the PEBLO and MSC both kind of laughed when they said I would have to be reevaluated to come back to active service. That...

    JBLM MEB Timeline

    Thanks for the timeline. It must be nice to be at the base the PEB results come from! It probably won't make it any faster. If it's anything like my timeline, you should have your ratings back within 10 days.

    Korea Questions?

    I had a friend go through this. He ended up going to San Antonio I believe.

    Was worth a try. It was at least faster at displaying the last stage for me.

    FIT or UNFIT

    Won't hurt to log into VA gov to check there. It gave me more detailed information than ebennies. It told me mine was actually finished while ebennies said pending decision.

    Fort Carson Timeline

    Yes! The PEB Attorney was spot on with her guesstimation of what I should expect. For what it's worth, they place your next exam one year out from when you case was initially opened if you are on the TDRL. Anything mental health related they almost always place on TDRL is what I understand now.
