Anyone active duty Airforce, can yall post your meb board timelines. ESPECIALLY if you are/were stationed at JBSA (San Antonio Tx) ? I searched in the group Timelines but I saw mostly Army, USMC, or Navy. Didn’t see too many Airforce timelines.
 
I'm at lackland.. my case is at the IPEB
 
Check my post in this thread. It has 17 timelines for completed MEBs.
 
For JBSA? Or just in general. I’m just trying to see what I should expect from people in the Airforce and at my base
 
Do you have your timeline?

Called VA.gov to verify it was accepted since I couldn't see it on my own account. Status is "Accepted" & "Pending Evaluation" :24 Mar 26
*Hint* you can call VA.gov at any time to receive updates on your claim. 1-800-827-1000 (M-F 8am-9pm EST) or VA Help Desk 866-279-3677 (M-F 8am-8pm EST)
MEB complete, Signed 618: 30 Mar 26.
*Hint* it can take a month+ to get fully rated, but after a week your PEBLO might be able to access and see if you were deemed Fit/Unfit by AFPC.
 
So my VA examiner basically put I have borderline personality disorder & all of my other years of chronic diagnosis are false and don’t meet the criteria, as I’m actively on my 7th or 8th depression and anxiety medication. As I have been Inpatient once and have been to out patient three times. What’s the likely hood of the VA going strictly off what the examiner says or if they will go off of my years of mental health medical records? Has this happened to anyone??? I’m currently getting MEB because of Major Depression disorder and generalized anxiety disorder & migraines.

How long have you been in? If in for 8 years or more then everything is service connected. All mental health issues are lumped together and so what matters more is your symptoms and what rating the symptoms will be rated.

myFSS Confirmation email from AFPC that package was received: 31 Mar 26
2nd myFSS Confirmation Email. AF Form 356/1180 is with PEBLO: 3 Apr 26
Meet with PEBLO on Findings and Recommended Disposition: Scheduled 6 Apr 26
Rating DoD 20%/VA 90%: Deciding to meet with MEB attorney before selecting appeal: 6 Apr 26
Meet with PEBLO. Disagreed/Re-evaluation of disability rate: 10 Apr 26
Appeal Date set: 22 Apr 26
Appeal Date of 22 Apr 26 cancelled. Not needed due to a VA Rating reconsideration is only needed. Package submission set for 28 Apr 26

The VA reconsideration was submitted because the VA failed to capture the entirety of symptoms from my diagnosis, so with a note from my doctor and some other evidence. fingers crossed I reach that 30%DOD/100%VA threshold.

Does anyone know how long does it typically take the VA to process rating reconsiderations?
 
I ended up not having to appeal anything, the VA caught it and just deferred it. With those claims I spoke on I’m still at 100% p&t
