Yes, hand them over were impatient
Mine havent answered their phone/email in 3 weeks, getting kinda aggravated.slightly hoping the JDETS gets leaked again so i can have some type of updateWhat do y’all ask your lawyers and peblos for updates? Mine just straight up don’t reply to me lolol
Just talked to the people dealing with message traffic here, and they said my message should be able to be seen in NSIPS Separations before they even get it- how legit is that? Our command has always been not great with message traffic so I'm just wondering if that's legit
dont tell them you are on a MEB or IDES. tell them you havent received your letter in the mail and ask for them to email it instead. you may have to call a few times to get someone who will email it. i have found that calling closer to closing is better since people dont want to argue and just want to end the call nicely and go home. a
also ask for the narrative letter which breaks down your total rating by each claim
I dont think that the lawyer's intervention did anything as I am sure they did not do anything. It was the right time after your long wait. Congrats, @Hins116. You're almost there. I will be doing this also. Lol, I'm wondering if they are able to see on their screen that the case is IDES
I’m pretty sure they can because my case closed on the VA website says IDES estimation letter. I think you just have to get someone who doesn’t care
I’m in the same boat. I want to buy a house but due to the 12 month thing, I’m going to go with a different loan option. NavyFed has something called the military choice loan. 0 down payment, no mortgage insurance, but the interest rate and APR is higher. You could look into that if you haven’t already. Maybe try looking into what USAA offers as well. On Facebook there is a group called VettedVA which has been very informative. You can request to join it, if you haven’t already
I requested one a few weeks back. I was given the same timeline. My lawyer informed me to keep in mind the board stops working on the formal boards sometimes to work on the PEB backlog. The guy at the PEB said I should get a formal board date by mid April.
Here’s to more waiting
I just called my lawyer as well and they said I should have had my ratings by now. Since I called my lawyer I have had people from the VA blowing up my phone left and right lol. Good call brother.
@Neecy09, thank you so much. I immediately called Navy Fed and they said I should apply for the Military Choice but she (rep) was not sure if the 12 months would still apply to it. Lol, you didn't tell me about the 1.75% funding fee they slapped on to it
I contacted mine too she said if I don't hear anything by the 28th then to let her know
Mine didn't either, but I just kept bothering my va rep then I just got a new des lawyer that actually does her jobslightly hoping the JDETS gets leaked again so i can have some type of update
For those of us who have signed our findings and have been waiting for our new eas. Where can we check or call to see if it has populated. I know admin is supposed to let us know is there anywhere else?
Oh wow I didn’t even know about the funding fee. I’ll have to look more in depth in to that loan.
Any VA loan with a funding fee is a fucking joke. Talk to your realtor on the lender theyre used to using - I got 2.3% with 0 funding fee, 0 points (points are just 1 point = 1% of home cost as a fee). Veterans United was offering 2.4% with 2 fucking points. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE! Reach out to multiple lenders and DO NOT ACCEPT A FUNDING FEE/PAY FOR POINTS. I can personally talk you through all of this if any of you need help.
My realtor told veterans united to buzz off very respectfully by emailing them "Please tell me how you serve and help the veterans who served and protected you, by charging them thousands of dollars unnecessarily." The Veterans United lender didn't even reply, just canceled my loan.
