Hey I am here at ft hood going through the process would like to talk if you are comfortable with your case. I am currently in the peb phase, waiting to be found fit or unfit. Peblo stated I will most likely be found unfit.

How long did you wait between P3 start and your PEBLO contacting you?
 
10/5 first phone call from MEB clinic that my packet has been received and I should hear back within 3-5 business days on a decision.

It’s been two weeks and haven’t heard from MEB Clinic on my status nor has VA called to set up exams.

Should I follow up myself?

Does your profile have its second signature on it? I’ve been diagnosed with CRPS as well and my p3 was made around the same day as yours, but I’m waiting to do my c&p exams now.

Just PCM. Other signature lines are blank.
 
10/25 Met with PCM and found out IDES kicked my packet back citing the following.

1. Only on profile for 7 months
2. Has not seen general surgery on post
3. Off post records do not indicate any issues.


What’s frustrating is that my injury occurred 339 days ago and during that time I’ve been seen by an off-post pain management doctor 6 times, physical therapy 16 times, three phase bone scan 1, MRI 2, EMG/NCV Test 1
 
10/25 update.

Spoke with OMBUDSMAN and basically he said that IDES “only recognizes military treatment facilities”

On 10/31 I have to take my paperwork from all off post treatment to General Surgery for them to determine MRDP as civilian doctors cannot reach that decision.

Which is completely ridiculous considering tricare/Humana was the one who referred me off post for pain management and physical therapy.
 
I'm also on fort hood. Same time frame as yourself. Got the call from the MEB clinic yesterday and saw my p3 was uploaded. Today there's no profile in medpros for me. So I'm gonna assume they kicked mine back as well. PCM t I kd me prior that IDES has been kicking a lot of things back similar to yours. I've been on profile 9 months.

PCM said they'd kick mine back since I wasn't 6 months post op. (I had surgery for chronic exertional compartment syndrome off post). They're probably going to make me see on post orthopedics so they can also confirm I don't meet retention standards before they'll accept mine. Even with army physical therapy recommending MEB already.
 
11/1

Followed up with on post general surgeon. Only thing they could offer was a consult with hand surgeon even though my condition cannot be fixed via surgery.


11/2

Phone call with PCM. Turns out IDES didn't like the off post pain management paperwork I originally submitted as it didn’t have the practice’s information on the top (office name and address) it was just their internal notes with pain management notes and credentials.

Had off post pain management correct the “issue” and rescan in new documents.

11/3

P3 reinitiated and submitted back to MEB.
 
11/7

Call from MEB Clinic that they are reviewing my packet again and a decision will be made by the end of the week if they will fully accept me into process.
 
Mine got kicked back again I believe P3 is gone from med pros again. So I'll figure it out next week and update.
