A lot of folks on here with similar timelines. My case went to the PEB on 14 May and I haven't received findings yet. One person on this forum received their findings today and their case went up on 10 May. I've heard of other cases sent to the PEB between 26 April and 3 May receiving findings this week and last week. Really tough to forecast a timeline but people are getting findings so hopefully more mid and late May cases will start to receive findings over the next 3 weeks.

Information I shared concerning home awaiting orders was not accurate. I was reading from a dated version of the MARCORSEPMAN and the HQMC Outbound Seps page does not reflect changes found in the current version of the MARCORSEPMAN. Additionally, the MCO for leave and liberty does not reflect changes in how home awaiting orders requests are managed because it has not been updated since the MARCOSEPMAN was updated. There were some changes to how home awaiting orders are processed and that is outlined in MCO 1900.16 CH2 (MARCORSEPMAN) dated 15 Feb 2019. I've attached the order for reference.
I called MMSR-4 today and they verified that the HQMC Outbound Seps page and the MCO for leave and liberty do no properly reflect changes to home awaiting orders requests that can be found in MCO 1900.16 CH2 (MARCORSEPMAN) dated 15 Feb 2019.
A Marine can be sent home awaiting orders while they wait for PEB findings. I was told this directly from MMSR-4. However, that request must be approved by MMSR-4. Additionally, as other members of this forum have stated, there is an incredibly vague statement about a potential negative impact on pay/leave and reception of VA benefits with no additional information on how to avoid those issues.
"As this practice frequently creates problems with pay, leave and delivery of VA benefits, only cases of unusual hardship should be forwarded to the CMC (MMSR-4) for consideration."
8304. DISPOSITION OF PERSONNEL AWAITING FINAL DETERMINATION OF PHYSICAL DISABILITY (HOME AWAITING ORDERS) 1. Only the CMC (MMSR-4) may authorize sending Marines “home awaiting orders” for final disability determination. As this practice frequently creates problems with pay, leave and delivery of VA benefits, only cases of unusual hardship should be forwarded to the CMC (MMSR-4) for consideration. See
and
c. Ensures that no Marine referred to or pending before the PEB is discharged, retired, or sent home awaiting orders without CMC approval.
sorry for the confusion. I will be coordinating with appropriate persons to get the HQMC outbound seps page and the MCO for leave and liberty updated so they both accurately reflect what is found in the current version of the MARCORSEPMAN.
Could the fact that the PEB has 5000 cases be considered “unusual hardship”
I think it should be. Especially for some of the folks that have been in this process for over 400 days and are stuck in toxic commands.
IT SHOULD! There is no reason why we should have to keep submitting for extensions for this crap to finish. I just got an e-mail from IPAC today telling me I need to turn in a bunch of documents before I go on terminal leave because my EAS is in 10 days and my MOL has yet to reflect my new EAS after signing my extension 3 weeks ago. Granted I have no idea on the status of my extension because my admin shop is top notch. At this point if it's November 1st and my EAS hasn't updated on MOL I wont even be able to come to work because I wont have credentials to enter the gate to our facility and our security will not let me in because my access badge expired with my CAC and I can't get a new CAC without an updated EAS. This Med Board process has all the perks!
Sounds like everyone’s getting shafted pretty much. I would apply for it if it wasn’t for the pay and benefits potentially being screwed up. I don’t trust admin to not make a mistake with it.
If they can't handle routing an extension to the CO then to IPAC I don't trust them to handle something that is rarely requested.
Pretty much my thoughts. For something that is rarely done I assure you it will get screwed up.
Unrelated to the comments above, I spoke to my PEBLO today, nothing new. I only call him once a month and he still seems like its such an inconvenience for him. Either way he said that 4 cases came back to his office last week which is the most in one week that he's seen since covid. He said hopefully this means that it is all speeding up andI hear back in the, you guessed it next 4 to 6 weeks. I have literally heard him say 4-6 weeks like 6 times. Getting so worn out checking all the time, but I just want to be done so bad. 169 days today.
Yeah man, I just don’t understand why the hell this system is so jacked up. Trying to stay optimistic, but I have lost faith in this process and the system. I’m ready to move on with my life (I’m sure everyone is)!
Is anyones package at the third officer? Going on 158 days at PEB.. wondering when I’m ever going to get results
I have a couple questions about that spreadsheet:
1- What is the difference in the Medical Officer and the Presiding Officer?
2- What does the status of "Screening Ready-Digi Cases"?

Man I would’ve just chosen LDES at this point too. Good luck to you lol
