Army MEB/IDES Process

I am currently still undergoing my med board which had start August 2022. My last appointment was December 1st 2023 and only one of my DBQ'S have been released from QTC, my first appointment was September 2022. I am still currently waiting on the rest of my DBQ'S to be released from QTC QA team, is this normal for them to take so long to release the evaluations? I am currently overseas which I don't think is helping. My referral was for an anxiety disorder, the first DBQ was phyc evaluation, contacted PEBLO for further information and got a response from QTC on January 19 2023 stating the rest of the DBQ'S were being reviewed, my question is it is normal to take this long and why are they only releasing 1 evaluation

I had also pulled one claim for Tinnitus in December of 2022 because there were on available doctors at the time and estimated wait time was 2-3 months.
