well, I worked hard today and got a couple of people to finally work for me at the VA. I found out that Providence is suposedly averaging 74 days to process PEB's once they are accepted. I don't quite beilive that because my claim was submitted over 90 ago.
Anyways, I got them to fax me my Proposed Findings and she also told me over the phone what they were...
40%Refered and 80%VA.
Now I don't quite know how the process works 100% but i have read the manual a few billion times and its my understanding that the VA now sends my proposed ratings back to the PEB for their final agrement, and then forward the results back to me.
What I get out of all of that is that:
1 I have been found Unfit by the PEB ( VA wouldn't be coming up with ratings if I wasent unfit)
2 Should get Medically Retired (Assuming the PEB doesn't change the 40% for reffered conditions)
3 Will be getting paid the 80% regardless (If the VA proposes it, they are the one who pays me..their decision not PEBs)
Let me know what you guys think about Proposed Ratings, and whether or not I shooting in the right area.
