The VA is not the one that will find you unfit. The MEB Medical Evaluation Board evaluate you medical packet NARSUM thereafter, sending it to the PEB (Physical Evaluation Board) they will notify you with a 199 with your MILITARY fit levelHopefully someone can help me, Im currently in the medboard and in the VA website it says case close, i got my C&P exam done last month? does that mean i been found unfit?
How long does it take from the moment the packet to the MED is sent, to the moment you are found unfit? also will you get notify by email or your peblo or online thru military website such as MOLThe VA is not the one that will find you unfit.

Currently i have one va case closed and the other one is open. i haven't started my medboard evaluation yet.When you see a case closed on the VA and another case opened, then you know you have been found unfit. The first case is used to gather data to support your service in determining percentages, should you be found unfit by your service. The second case is opened to pay you once your submit a DD214 or DD215 or equivalent document.
That is odd since you have not completed your exams.Currently i have one va case closed and the other one is open. i haven't started my medboard evaluation yet.
correction on that one i have completed all of my C&P exams last monthThat is odd since you have not completed your exams.
Hopefully, my case hasn't been sent to the MED evaluation portion after the c&p exam, i just found it odd they would close my case in the va and say the ratings are done pending for letter to be sent to meThen I suspect you have been found unfit. I was confused wby "I haven't started my medboard evaluation yet."
Thanks a lot!! That helps a lot cause honestly i was so confused on it, like why would the va case be closed this early. Also have you gotten your letter yet?I had the same thing happen On Friday they closed my case and said they sent a letter and also said I could check my percentages on the E-benefits website. The VA has decided your percentages, but you won't see them until after the IPEB has made a decision. Here is my PEBLO's reply to the same question:
" I checked with Mr. _____ at the VA with your question today, and the disability claim proposal won’t be complete or visible until the results have returned from the Informal Physical Evaluation Board. As an update, the case is in the MEB Stage as you reference the IDES 180-day timeline. The complete set of Compensation & Pension exams, performed according to your VA benefits claim is presently being reviewed and reconciled by MDG providers and included as a NARSUM Addendum for the Local Board. I don’t currently have a timeframe for the local board to be completed but I’ll contact you for a scheduled PEBLO briefing once the board has convened for your MEB. "
No I haven't. If there's anything interesting on it when I do get it, I'll let ya know.Thanks a lot!! That helps a lot cause honestly i was so confused on it, like why would the va case be closed this early. Also have you gotten your letter yet?
Hopefully you can help charlie with this question, If you are medically retired under the 20 year service, do you get both VA pay and retirement pay base of your rank, or do you have to choose one of the two?I suspect that your MEB is complete and you are in PEB phase.
I noticed you asked how long it takes for you to recieve and unfit from the PEB. I just got my unfit back today but no final ratings. My package was submitted September 14th and I received my unfit today, October 13th! Now just waiting on final ratings so I can sign my 199! I know it's a different timeline for everyone but I am one of three people that it took exactly a month for.Hopefully you can help charlie with this question, If you are medically retired under the 20 year service, do you get both VA pay and retirement pay base of your rank, or do you have to choose one of the two?
