Yeah. i havent found a single person saying something good about their peblo or lawyer. They all seem to pretend as if its too much for them to answer the damn phone. I hope there is a way to fix this in future. They pretend to do us a favor when they are suppose to do their jobs.
I like both of mine. I feel like it's the system that is broken.
Looks like my lawyer is still no help. Emailed asking if there was any information about my case on the tracker and he hit with the generic reply,
"We will discuss your VA rating decision as soon as your findings are in from DoD. Your PEBLO will reach out to you first to discuss. Afterwards, you and I will go over everything with the VA rating decision and the steps to take next."
"We will discuss your VA rating decision as soon as your findings are in from DoD. Your PEBLO will reach out to you first to discuss. Afterwards, you and I will go over everything with the VA rating decision and the steps to take next."
Yeah, my lawyer is same. Atleast yours respond you through email. Mine dont answer the phone or replies any email. I wish I could change him.
Any May PEB submissions receive their decisions yet? Mine was submitted June 2nd so I'm sitting at 110 days right now. Seems like most of the people who received their decision recently waited about 140 days.
They are still working on April cases peblo told me
They are doing thousands of cases from around the world and it probably takes a day or two to decide fit or unfit probably have to talk about if they should keep someone in or not.
I’ve just been told to sit back wait and relax
This is the answer.
And everyone should be seeing mental health or at least a counselor from FFSC. This waiting will drive you crazy.
I don't think anyone planned this for their career, whether they are a "lifer" or a one and done so it can easily mess with your mind. Even though we may feel like we are alone in this, we have people that can help. So reach out and use your resources, even if it is just a ranting post on here.
Now is not the time to get angry or pissed off at people. The system is out of whack right now so we need to use the system to our benefit.
Use this extra time to make sure everything in your record is documented, both your service and medical records.
Take extra classes in a field that interests you.
Research VA benefits.
Make yourself better.
The government will pay you until they have fully adjudicated your case, so let them take their time while you get paid.
Use this time to get yours.
Is it me, or did the progress of ipeb cases hit a stand still for the April cases? It was going slow but still making progress and now it has been stuck in mid to late April cases for over a month. Does anyone know why it stopped?
Is there a maine equivalent?
I'm not sure but there seems to be something called marine family support services. But if you are on or near a navy base I'm pretty sure you can go to FFSC or at least get further guidance from them.
Talking about self care while in the process, can anyone answer this? Anybody know if it’s a big deal to get a a foot surgery for tarsal tunnel while in the PEB. It’s the foot equivalent to carpal tunnel in the hand. I figure I mine as well get it done while I’m waiting. I already got rated at 100%VA without documenting tarsal tunnel as a medical condition. Something they found on top of plantar facitis. It was cleared by my Peblo.
I asked him and he was a little surprise but didn’t really see any issues as long as the Peblo cleared it.
I was told to wait on getting my wisdom teeth out because of one of my claims and that if I had them taken out I would have to redo the exam afterwards.
