Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my case timeline to see if there's any way to guesstimate a completion time.
31 May 2022 - Had a total right hip replacement (not fun at 28 years old)
21 Dec 2022 - Code 37
22 Jan 2023 - Contacted PEBLO about next steps MDG never notified them of my status
23 Jan 2023 - First meeting with PEBLO
27 Jan 2023 - Code 37 and 469 Removed; scheduled follow-up with PCM to find out why
31 Jan 2023 - Reviewed CC impact statement with leadership, I requested DNR
01 Feb 2023 - Started to apply for Skillbridge program... Completed TAPS, applied for HoH Fellowship. Skillbridge was approved, education center waiting on FL4
08 Feb 2023 - PCM Follow-up, Code 37 removed in error. MDG thought I was separating in the near future (my DOS isn't until 2026). Reinstated Code 37
10 Feb 2023 - CC Impacted statement signed and sent to PEBLO
09 Mar 2023 - IRILO Finally complete, full MEB recommended
14 Mar 2023 - FL4 received; referred to MEB
13 Apr 2023 - Meeting with VA MSC
24 Apr 2023 - First C&P Exam (QTC)
01 May 2023 - Start Skillbridge
09 May 2023 - Last C&P Exam
06 Jun 2023 - No updates, so I ping PEBLO and she follows up with VA
08 Jun 2023 - QTC contacts me to schedule another exam to repeat spirometry test done at previous exam. Asked QTC and VA and no one knew why it was needed.
19 Jun 2023 - Final C&P exam again. Same results as last
06 Jul 2023 - PEBLO receives everything and begins drafting documents for local board
09 Jul 2023 - Followed up with PEBLO. Was told the MDG is severely understaffed due to deployments and local board may be longer than 30 days
21 Jul 2023 - Air Force education ctr allows me to extend skillbridge to 19 September (180 days from FL4 date)
28 Jul 2023 - Signed job offer for post-service employment at skillbridge company but could not provide an estimated start date.
11 Aug 2023 - Follow up with PEBLO. Waiting on PCM and flight surgeon signatures. She's sending reminders to them every Monday
30 Aug 2023 - Still waiting for signatures
09 Sep 2023 - Still no updates, AF will not allow me to extend skillbridge due to FL4 date. I return to shop
14 Sep 2023 - PEBLO Calls and has everything but CC Impact statement is now outdated
20 Sep 2023 - CC Approves original CC Impact statement, I sign the 618 agreeing with findings, PEBLO submits to AFPC
20 Sep 2023 - FSS email received
Is this timeline normal? I feel like I'm way behind where it should be. This whole process has been so stressful. I'm at McChord the PEBLO has been super helpful where they can be, there's only so much they can do though.
Should I be seeing anything on VA.gov or ebenefits? I still don't have any claims on the site. I emailed the MSC but didn't get a response.
I'll update my timeline as it progresses
