So I am being IRILO'd ( waiver submitted)for depression, chronic pain, and factor 5 lieden (blood clot disorder). All 3 are likely unwitting based on what I have been seeing. Before they make a determination will they go through all of my records and look for all DOD unfit items to rate before they send the records to VA for their ratings. I want to make sure if they only rate those three items for DOD that the rest will be included before I get my DOD rating.
Welcome to the PEB Forum!
Upon acceptance into the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process, during the MEB Phase is when all of your medical conditions are reviewed to determine which are "medically unacceptable" or "medically acceptable" conditions. The MTF will assign a PEBLO to develop the MEB case file for the MEB phase of the DoD IDES process.
In continuation of the DoD IDES MEB process, a Narrative Summary (NARSUM) is dictated after receipt of the DoVA C&P Examination results which outlines in detail all medically unacceptable and medically acceptable conditions.
If the MEB determines that medically unacceptable conditions exist, then the IDES case file is forward to the PEB for a fit for duty or unfit for duty determination. The
MEB phase has an officially published DoD timeline of 100 calendar days for Active Component (AC) military personnel and
140 calendar days for Reserve Component (RC) military personnel.
If the PEB determines any unfit medical conditions, then the IDES case file is forward to the DoVA D-RAS for ratings of all PEB referred unfitting conditions (e.g., DoD disability rating(s)) and all DoVA claimed conditions. It's important to note that the DoD
must adopt the DoVA D-RAS rating(s) for each PEB-referred unfitting condition(s).
In conclusion, the DoD officially published timeline for AC military personnel within the
DoD IDES MEB/PEB process is 295 calendar days, and RC military personnel is
305 calendar days . But, actual DoD IDES completion timelines can vary significantly due to the current workloads for each military department's IDES case files. Take care!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"
Best Wishes!
