If you're sitting at 104 you need to try getting your Leadership involved with calling WWB. As long as there isn't anything abnormal going on with your case you should be advocating for the PEB to stick to their timelines and your command should be advocating with you. They should be getting briefed the status of your board during FPCs and assist in pressuring whoever your case is stuck with. I know that the PEB is short staffed and didn't turn over their positions properly but that shouldn't be at your expense.Finally, I have some good news. I spoke with my attorney today and got my proposed ratings from the VA. I was told we are waiting on the PEB process and it is still backed up.
I’m at 104 days since PEB acceptance.
I hope everyone else is doing okay.
Trust me I am also very pessimistic about commands caring but you also can't discount them all. What else can you do? PEBLO's get 5,000 emails a day from LCpl Shmucitelli that they respond to with dumbass responses like "I'll tell you when I know" but I guarantee they'll think of a better response for your CO or other senior leadership.That's assuming you have a command that cares about their Marines/Sailors

Thanks, Garibay. I'll do what I can. I am also reserved on a command(s) advocating-but, it's worth a shot.If you're sitting at 104 you need to try getting your Leadership involved with calling WWB.

WWBN will not accept you based solely on your PEB status. They are in fact less likely to accept you if on a Med Board. I would still try, it is always worth a shot. WWBN is great and the diamond in the rough of the USMC for sure, but all they really care about is "Can your command meet all your needs as a wounded Marine?" The referral process will need to start with your command, ask your 1StSgt about it and he should be able to print off paperwork for you to fill out nd he will send it to them. The acceptance process takes around a month, and the WWBN will put you on their own board to determine if you are fit to be in the battalion. By the time he gets accepted he will be getting his findings and out the door though. Also, WWBN Marines do not have special MED boards of privileges. I started my med board in October of 2020 and am still here, sent my board to the PEB June 30th.If you're sitting at 104 you need to try getting your Leadership involved with calling WWB.

Congrats! How many weeks was yours with the ipeb?I got my findings today
I didn't mean to try and get moved to WWBN it was more of getting their command to reach out to WWBN and light a fire under the PEBLOs (who fall under WWBN) ass to get their marine or sailor better information on their status. Because at least in my case my PEBLO gives 0 fucks until someone else gets involved. I tried filling out an ICE complaint but WWBN has opted to not put their services on the ICE website. So the only way to get onto them or hold them accountable is to get commands involved which is what I was trying to say.WWBN will not accept you based solely on your PEB status.

Mine has been waiting at the PEB since 3 May. Tomorrow will make it 100 days for me. PEBLO told me today that I should hear back from them in 2 weeks because they did their mid summer PCS for their personnel and it slowed everything down."Per the PEB report sent today there are 2994 cases in the Medical officer que.
When I sort the report from largest to smallest in the Medical Officer que your name is 2451 of 2994.
Of those 2994 cases WRNMMC has 91 still pending action by the PEB.
Your case is # 36 with 88 days at the PEB.
The oldest case pending action from WRNMMC is 130 days. That case was picked up by the PEB on 02APR21 and that case is still in the Medical Officer que.
Yes it is a correct Assumption that the PEB work on a first in first out process.
I hope this helps with understanding the back log currently at the PEB."
Wow I wish my PEBLO gave me stuff like this. Mine hardly answers the phone or responds to emails even though she's teleworking. And when she does I get maybe 1-4 word responses or she'll just ignore whole questions within my emails.Here is what my PEBLO told me today:

I’d love to know what questions you asked to get such a thorough response! I can only ever get a “nothing yet…click.” Lol so maybe I’m asking the wrong questionsHere is what my PEBLO told me today:

I've been getting very short responses from my PEBLO since mid-June. But I send the same email with the same questions 2 or 3 times a week and this week I started CCing his boss so I guess that's why I finally got a more detailed response.Wow I wish my PEBLO gave me stuff like this.

I've been sending my PEBLO the same questions since mid June. Today is the first time I received a response beyond "no change" or "still with the medical officer"I’d love to know what questions you asked to get such a thorough response!
