Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone can make any suggestions on what to do as my VA C&P exams were completed 30 MAY 12 and it is almost going into the four month and I still have not received my NARSUM. The MEB doctor told me 27 JUL 12 that she would have it ready in "a month". Any advice??
 
You need to contact your PEBLO. If you fall under the IDES process they have a certain time frame they must stick to. I took my C&P exams and at the most a month later I received my NARSUM. I think it was about 3.5 weeks. As far as advice you need to bug the hell out of them. I would call and email my PEBLO daily until she got back with me.
 
UniformedSoldier and firedawg, thanks for the responses. There shouldn't be anything else they are waiting on as one of my main conditions has exceeded maximum, optimal care. I will take your advice and will start with the PEBLO again. I asked her initially, and she told me a month ago, it was routing for signatures. I'm calling again today. I'll keep you posted.

When you talk to the PEBLO tell them your CoC is questioning you on the status and are pushing you hard on the subject... If all else fails, you need to call your Ombudsman immediately, they will get ahold of your PEBLOs boss and they will jump all over that doc!

Thanks, I am inquiring about the Ombudsman contact information today!
 
Update: I spoke with my PEBLO again today and she informed me that my NARSUM is still routing for signatures since 14 AUG. ???????

This saddens me that your PEBLO is not following up on your case, go to the local MEB office and see about talking to your PEBLOs supervisor, and I highly suggest going to your Ombudsman! This doc needs to get their ass handed to them for failing to do the right thing!
 
waited two months and called PEBLO, he informed me that they were done and he would email them to me on that day. a week went by and no email from him, i called, left messages and emailed him with no answer. i called my Ombudsman and she got the ball rolling, go everything in three days. call Ombudsman a must.

Thanks, Grizz!! The supervisor wasn't available, but I definitely will be contacting the Ombudsman on Tuesday. Thanks!
 
Good, keep us posted!
 
Hello All,
Guess what? The calls to the PEBLO office and a simple inquiry regarding my Omsbudsman contact information paid off!! I have a NARSUM review appointment on tomorrow- 6 SEP 12- ;)! Now, I'm praying that I can just review and sign without have to contest anything.

Awsome! The squeaky wheel worked for you! Was your MEB doc Mr. Anderson? If it was he was the same dirtbag that took 4 months to write my NARSUM too...

No, not Mr. Anderson. I have a female doctor. Were you at Polk? They say this base is slower than others for an MEB. I have heard of 2 years plus for MEB, but they tell you the average is 1 year, although during the MEB brief they tell you that it doesn't suppose to exceed 295 days total.
 
Oh ok, I'm at JBLM... I would still report that MEB doc to the ombudsman anyways just for the sheer fact of the 4 month wait when it should have been no more than 30 days...

I wish you could be the MEB overseer!! I'm sure you would stay on their asses-lol!! But guess what? When I was enroute to the appointment today for my NARSUM, I called my PEBLO and she claimed the appointment was on yesterday and that she was leaving for an appointment?????????REALLY? I'm like there is no way as she told me it was 6 SEP 12. Yeah right!! No email, no call after a missed NARSUM appointment. But, she rescheduled it for 10 SEP 12. So, this time I repeated it to her like, "ONE-ZERO-SEPTEMBER-THE TENTH-which is Monday, is this correct?" But in all fairness, my husband and many others tell me the 6 sounds funny when I pronounce so maybe she thought I was confirming 5th instead of 6th. Well, the NARSUM still awaits........
 
polk sucks! i was there for almost 6 years
 
I wish I could say the many things there are to do there but obviously that is a complete lie! HA! Plus I was there when Katrina and Rita hit. We got slammed by Rita! Toward the end it was fun because I was in 509th

Still the same! Still no Chilli's on post!! Walmart is still the mall! Most of the restaurants are still NOT TASTY!! But at least, they got a new good crawfish place here!! Coushatta Casino is not too far away either so we do the best we can given the circumstances.
