peb

Hello all. New member to the forum so if there is a better, more specific forum, please let me know! I have a bit of an unusual case. I am currently on LIMDU and it is set to expire at the end of April. I have a completely separate medical condition that could require surgery that would extend...

So my case has been sitting with the PEB since the 12th of January, any of y’all have a vague time frame for when I’ll get my findings back? I have been found unfit & have a Va rating of 90%. PEBLO says my case is with QA now.. please give me hope that this is all coming to an end. I’ve also...

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my current DES/PEB timeline and see if anyone else has experienced something similar. At this point I’m honestly just trying to make sense of where I’m at in the process. DES Referral: 06/04/2025 MEBBA Review: 06/12/2025 DES Enrollment: 07/10/2025 (This included...

Hello, There are some major issues I have ran into after receiving my MEB packet and would like to get a headstart before seeing legal (Army Active Duty). After reviewing my packet I noticed that one of my claimed conditions had no medical basis per the VA. This immediately raised red flags as...

I was wondering if someone could explain to me like I am 5 years old, the difference between the Integrated DES and the Legacy DES. If you elect the LDES which, from what I am seeing, goes much quicker are you locked into that DOD rating forever? How does that effect the medically retired vs...

Good Afternoon All! I looked in my VA.gov today and my claim was closed at step 5 of 5 with proposal letter on the way (or not, I've heard they won't mail it to you). My MSC said she can't tell me the proposed ratings, my PEBLO said she doesn't have them yet, and I called the hotline twice and...

I'm starting my MEB process and my PEBLO is seemingly only wanting to put one condition on my 0819, it only rates 10%. I know that I can get the VA to rate me later on in the process, but will other unfitting conditions be added to the DOD rating still, or not because they are not on the 0819?

Hello, Has anyone received orders recently? I reached out to PERS 35 and they said that they can see my EOO but the index was not sent to them yet to process me message. I was not submitted via "NDITS". My timeline is: January 2025- MEB Initiated April 2025- VA exams completed July 2025-...

I’m looking for confirmation that I’m interpreting the statutes correctly. I was a dual-status federal technician covered under FERS. While employed, I made a military service deposit (“bought back”) one year of active-duty deployment time. After resigning from my technician position, I was...

Hello, just wanted to see if anyone has received their retirement/separation orders? My timeline is: -Sept 15- signed and accepted PDRL Then the PEB migration and shut down happened. - Nov 17- PEBLO notified me that they got the green light to submit my EOO How long until I see my orders?

My RILO was sent up with "Do Not Retain", so I am doing some preparation for the likely outcome of a MEB. My condition on its own only rates 20% tops. Does this mean this is the most I can get from the DoD rating? Or can I also couple in secondary conditions with the DoD rating (ROM, migraines...

Is it possible and or FEASIBLE to do a SkillBridge across the country from where my MEB is being processed? Am I able to coordinate via email, and do my C&P exams at a clinic near my SkillBridge location? Or is the only feasible option to do an online/local SkillBridge where I’m at?

I know this gets brought up every year but does anyone actually know what to expect with the possibility of a shutdown? I’m currently awaiting the final sign off for my case after the VA completed my VARR and sent it out to the PEB on sep 16th. Will there be a total shutdown or just a slow down...

Hi everyone, I was directed here from Reddit, here’s the BLUF: I was told by my provider that certain symptoms related to my sleep are going to trigger a MEB. I, not everyone planning on getting out before 20, was a little shocked but after talking with my wife we agreed it may not be the worst...

Good afternoon,I signed my NARSUM on June 16 and moved into Phase 2 of the IDES process to receive my VA rating (Army). Last week, I asked my PEBLO if there were any updates, and he informed me that my case has been pending the VA rating proposal since July 9. Could someone please explain what...

On July 3rd, I signed my findings and expected the next steps to move forward relatively smoothly. As of today, July 16th, I’ve been informed that the PEB has not yet signed off on my findings or forwarded them to PER454. Naturally, this delay has caused some concern. I’m scheduled to begin...

Hello all, I'm an Army drilling guardsman with 10 years of active duty time (pilot). Separated 2023 from active duty with 100%. Tried the guard for the past few years (non-aviation) and I just can't physically do it any more. I'm at 18 good years (was Marine reserves for 8 years). Currently a...

I was medically discharged back at Ft Steward demobilization after combat tour in 2003. At the time the wait for MEB/PEB was almost 2 years...of which I would have been in medical hold barracks that whole and the medical Detachment commander pushed me just to take a simple medical discharge due...

Hello everyone, Late last month, I accepted my NARSUM. It got sent to the PEB. This morning, I got an email from VES saying that they might schedule another C&P exam. I went ahead and called and they told me that they MAY WANT TO evaluate a claim of mine again. Has this happened to anyone in...
