To my knowledge, yes. The IDES process that the PEBLO should have shared with you indicates that once notified by the PEBLO of your DoD and VA ratings you have 10 days to respond. This is the point you should contact council and in my case the OAC (Office of Airman's Council) or hire a lawyer, or contact the Veterans Service Organization which in my case is the DAV. I am in the Air National Guard and the Air Force IDES process. You need to keep all options on the table so do not let a suspense date pass without considering all aspects.
