Still waiting on results. Haven't heard anything from my PEBLO, tried calling him, his assistant and the building several times but nobody answers. I have heard that the PEB is backed up so to expect a 4 month turnaround for findings. Anyone else in this situation? I have been extended past my EAS twice already, I am just looking for some hopeful news.

I had been extended a couple times as well and just got my results last week, waited 16 weeks for it to come back from peb

Week 13 for me. PEBLO just emailed me this morning saying the PEB replied to his email requesting an update with "That case is still in the Medical Officer queue and will be for some weeks due to a doctor shortage up here.”

Not an acceptable answer but it is what it is. I'll keep getting a paycheck and BAH while they take their time with making a decision.
