Right around the corner! Just continue to advocate for yourself and ask questions throughout the process because for me a lot of stuff felt unknown, like my case was falling through the cracks. Before you know it you’ll be all done!Thats great news! I just got my ratings and case closed one the 15th, hoping to get out ASAP, but based on your timeline I'll probably be out in January - February timeframe.
Congrats! I got mine 2 days after retirement dateI received my orders! How long to receive the leave sell back check?
Quick update:
2 December: VA app shows open claim. Step 5 out of 8 complete
There’s an 8 step process from claim received to claim closed. It’s just a tracker on the VA app to tell you where you are in the processWhat are steps 5-8?
What are steps 5-8?
Same here for the proposed case while still active. Once retired you’ll get the usual 8 step caseOk....I only had 5 steps.
For your reenlistment stipend, was it one that was owed next year or was the one that was just owed for the rest of this year I get paid my annual installment this month but when I get retired, I’ll still have one more payment due, but I’m not sure if I get that since I’m getting out before my anniversary month.Update!

Only thing I’m really waiting for now is my final reenlistment stipend to come in, and my VA claim to populate in the app.
My anniversary month is January, but my EAOS before retirement was January 2025. So I was thinking I’d get either the whole last payment, or one prorated at 11 months since I just retired a month early. But I’m not expecting it to come in. Especially now that I’ve received my final pay and sold leave already. Just would have been niceFor your reenlistment stipend, was it one that was owed next year or was the one that was just owed for the rest of this year I get paid my annual installment this month but when I get retired, I’ll still have one more payment due, but I’m not sure if I get that since I’m getting out before my anniversary month.
