VA CASE

Ah okay. Surprised the ratings weren't back yet with how they are doing it. Have you checked the case status on va.gov?
That's exactly what I was thinking! My PEBLO said "call me in November to see your final ratings". Same thing he said with the unfit decision. Call me at the end of October for your fit or unfit. Not too happy with the lack of communication but I'll ask once a week. I got 30/90 proposed so I'm hoping it stays the same for the final ratings.

Ok this is definitely confusing. Did you sign accepting the findings? To my knowledge, they remain "proposed" until you are discharged and they can assign final ratings since you won't be AD anymore. If you signed accepting your findings and ratings then you should be waiting on a new EAS now. Unless they are doing something crazy now? I believe Navy and Marine process are the same

There's also a Facebook group called "Military PEB/IDES/Med Board Info". You may be able to explain what's going on and see what they say. There are even peblos on the page

I need to post a timeline. I recieved my proposed ratings around the same time my case went to the PEB on September 14th! Obviously I didn't sign them or anything for those. Then today my PEBLO emailed me saying I was found unfit for service by the PEB October 13th!

Ok gotcha, I was also confused because you said you were 30/90. I assumed that the DOD rating was given to you at 30%

So will I find anything else out about my final ratings on va.gov or will I have to wait to hear from my PEBLO? Thank you for reaching out btw!

Honestly, I haven't heard of what you are going through. Normally you get the fitness determination with the proposed ratings. Then you sign agreeing or request a formal board. If you agree, you get your new EAS and transition out. I reccomend asking on that Facebook group
 
Joe,
I'm going to try my best help based on my current experience and understanding. Currently, the VA will do the ratings once your C&P exams are done. Their ratings will be sent to the PEB with your med board package. (It used to be that the VA would only rate IF the board found you unfit. It is much faster this way). The reason one case closes and another opens is because they completed your proposed ratings but must keep one open until you leave active duty. Once you are discharged, they can complete and close that one so you can start getting paid.

The letter they talk about being sent to you actually goes to your VA Rep/PEBLO since you are AD. I recently found out that when this happens, you can call the VA and they will email you the proposal immediately. I would wait 10 days until the case was closed before calling them. I did this last week and got my proposal. Now I'm just waiting for the PEB to send their decision back.

As for being under 20 years, you will only receive the disability compensation. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you, mike this really help me out, i just felt so confused by everything.

Be ready. It comes quick. Like I said, I got my rating oct 26 and my retirement date is dec 30. Just take a breath every so often and prioritize what you need to do. Reach out to support if you're having issues or concerns. It may feel impossible but it is very possible

Currently in the same boat as well so it definitely helps to read that I'm not alone in this. Did my final QTC Appt on November 12th. Peblo said QTC Should have my package done this week and sent up to the VA. Is this the part that took a month? After the package gets sent to the VA? What can I expect or from your personal experience, any ETA you'd assume? I was told once the QTC Package is sent up itll take 4-6 weeks to get my ratings and findings back. And after that ill start preparing to get out. Sound accurate? I know with chrismas right here itll probably take 1-2 weeks longer.

have you sign your narsum?
 
have you sign your narsum?
No that is estimated to happen this week. Im guessing the NARSUM wont show me anything pertaining to Unfit/Fit findings?
 
soon after you sign your narsum, your package should be sent up
Will the NARSUM show me anything? Findings? Unfit/Fit determination? Or is it just a list of disabilities with evidence.??
