I really want to knw how long it usually takes for preping for dision
 
I can help dude, i talked to my msc because my case left on december 4. Turns out that the va has requested information from the C&P Dr about the delineation of symptoms between my tbi and ptsd that hasnt been forwarded yet. So be patient dude your not alone!
My unfit memo was sent same time 04 DEC and My ebenefits hasnt change did they say when they be able to get your propse ratings??
 
In a positive note the "total" allotted time of 295 is in march, anything before that is a good thing. Hopefully I won't get draged past that proposed date. You never know but less than 60 days makes me happy.
 
I received my finalized ratings packet in the mail yesterday! Excited to have that wait over. Now I can finally look at paying off some bills and getting my finances back on track.

Indeed, I like the "in a positive note" verbiage albeit I have been in the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process for a total of 491 days and counting.

To that extent, the official termination of the DoD IDES process is forthcoming; therefore, there is light at the end of the 'long and extended" tunnel for sure!

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!

All right, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations! :D

Wow, it took a total of approximately 7 months from signature of DA Form 199 to official receipt of DoVA final ratings via USPS First Class mail!

Indeed, I shall have a lot more waiting upon my forthcoming military disability retirement but at least it will be as a military veteran away from the current active duty military stressors!

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!
 
Got my revised 199 back and met with my lawyer today. I am being advised to submit a VARR to fix my ratings. Sucks to be so close to the end but then choose to extend it on your own. Wish me luck.
 
Anyone ever had the SSA tell you, that you do not have enough credits to qualify for SSDI? That's the word I'm getting I've been in the Army for 14 years now and before that i made like 2,000 when I was 15, and maybe like 3,000$ when I was 16. Plus they never even sent me a letter denying me, I think the lady helping me was confused.

Indeed, and congratulations on your favorable election for submission of a VARR! :)

To that extent, do your two additional PEB referred unfitting conditions have any assigned DoVA disability proposed ratings? If not, then please ensure the VARR address this concern to include any other rating discrepancies with your other PEB referred unfitting conditions, if applicable!

As such, I totally comprehend your current dilemma albeit in retrospect for me it was a very wise decision in my opinion!

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Both my additional PEB referred unfitting conditions already have 10% ratings each. Essentially now I am just arguing that one of those conditions was rated wrong and should be higher.

Well, got a call late this afternoon that my 199 is ready. 10 DoD and 70 VA. WTF? Guess I'll have to see what the entire packet has to say. Then again, no one has said anything about my pending ETS date.
 
Does anyone know what's a Devlopmental Leter sent means? My ebenefits went orange feel like its a spaceball joke.

Indeed not albeit something non-procedural is definitely occurring in my opinion! :confused:

Hmm, have you received and/or reviewed your annual Social Security Statement which estimates your retirement, disability, and survivors benefits recently?

If not, then please visit the my Social Security website to either create a new online account or sign in to view your latest earnings record. Its URL is http://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ and upon completion you shall be able to view your own personal Social Security information.

Hmm, interesting in that I received the "Development Letter Sent" message very early in the DoD IDES process upon viewing my eBenefits information.

To that extent, when I made an inquiry to the DoVA, the representative stated that a letter was sent informing me that the Regional VA Office has received my disability claim but they are backlogged and there exist an extended wait for claim completion.

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

In addition to my previously provided information referencing your inquiry, maybe it's a standard message which was finally posted to your eBenefits account albeit late and potentially useless information at this point! :confused:

Well, I would definitely suggest that you submit an IRIS inquiry and/or call the DoVA 1-800# for clarification! The DoVA representative should definitely be able to yield a "standard response" explaining its original meaning in my opinion.

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!
