I've been monitoring forums here for a couple months, so thought I would post a timeline of my own.
Legal Brief: Aug 19
VA Claim begins: Aug 23
VA Initial review: Aug 24
VA Evidence gathering, review, and decision: Sep 16
QTC exams submissions: Oct 5 (completed approximately a month before final submission by doctors)
Signed board docs for PEB submission: Oct 14
Submitted to PEB: Oct 19
Received by PEB: Oct 20
I have only one referred condition and it seems pretty cut and dry. Personal history of Traumatic Brain Injury without ability to differentiate symptoms from PTSD (which should be rated at 70%). Does anyone have experience with VA ratings for TBI? It will be rated below 30% DOD threshold for retirement if PTSD is not rated with TBI. For fitness determinations, will the PTSD C&P exam be taken into consideration by the PEB? NARSUM is supportive of my intent to leave the military. I understand that I may not receive my initial findings until April, but I have a current job offer and have begun grad school and an internship to kill some time until my findings are received.
Have any of you had any success with requesting case to be expedited considering current job offer? My PEBLO has been infuriating and pretty unsupportive.
My PEBLO's response when I ask about the status of my case: "I don’t monitor daily movements or decisions made at the PEB nor do I want to. I would never get any work done or have any Peace in my work and personal life." Her name is Stacey Humphrey out of Camp Lejeune. I only reach out to her every month or so, which I consider more than appropriate.
Do I have any fellow Marines with a similar timeline? If so, what have you heard?
