Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

Not open for further replies.
Have a quick question i see all the post on how people are at all these day now is it Days at the VA or is it Days in Overall IDES Process. Thanks in advance

In my particular DoD IDES case, I would state whether it's showing DoVA D-RAS rating days or total DoD IDES timeline days; can't make any comments about others feedback unfortunately.

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

Best Wishes!
 
Congratulations, indeed! :)

As such, my final out day is 5 March 2014 and I should have my military disability retirement orders on 28 February 2014 per the RSO!

Hmm, for sure, my military unit needs to "get in high gear" with all of my favorable personnel actions at this point; no excuses now!

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

Best Wishes!
Congratulations on the date! I want to get out quick but my COC gave me some regulation BS that its 10 buisness days to clear. I recieved my orders yesterday and I will have all signatures today except two because its at brief I have to attend on Monday and Tuesday. On a really good note I did get my final DD214 and already uploaded it to ebenefits. I plan on sending one out to TSP today along with my CRSC.
 
Indeed, it's only a matter of time before receipt of TRANSPOC-III notification at your local military Transition Office/RSO for sure.

As such, it took HQ USAPDA a total of 15 calendar days to review and obtain approval from SecArmy via USAHRC for my particular DoD IDES case.

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

Best Wishes!
Actually, I called PDA today and they sent my TRANSPOC message to Fort Myer on the 26th. Now I'm just calling Fort Myer to see when I can do my brief...they are a bit slower than the big Army posts I believe.
 
Well my ebenefits had some more movement today. Went from gathering of evidence to preparation for decision. Hopefully this means things are starting to move quickly. Not going to get my hopes up though. 158 days waiting on ratings so far.

Congratulations on your process drawing to a close and seemingly the desired outcome.

My process is ongoing.

MEB Referral 24 May 13
VA Claims submitted 19 Jun 13
Medical Exams 23 Jul 13
MEB finding 21 Aug 13
Informal PEB 28 Aug 13
VA Ratings Process Began 28 Aug 13
Preparation for Decision 25 Feb 14

I am sure I have a better chance of winning the lottery than obtaining real, reliable, and valid information as each case varies, but in Seattle is there any consensus as to the time it takes to get from Preparation for Decision to an actual decision?

Honestly, after the 184 days I have been waiting in the VA rating phase I feel lucky to be where I am, but that does not change the angst and frustration I feel at not knowing and the lack of real information which is able to be obtained.

Thank you to all of you on this forum.
 
I'm stationed at Ft Campbell and I just picked up my 199 this afternoon. 40% Army and 60% VA. Hopefully this time next month Ill be on terminal leave!!

Here has been my timeline so far:
11Sept13 - MEB initiated
20Oct13 - C&P Exams Completed
31Oct13 - NARSUM signed and submitted
07Nov13 - Found unfit and Packet sent out for Ratings
21Feb13 - Notified by PEBLO proposed ratings had been completed by VA
28Feb13 - Received DA 199

I spent the afternoon at the legal office and everything looks correct. I plan on signing my 199 Monday morning. So far my IDES dashboard has yet to change and Ebenefits is still stuck on "Review of Evidence". So much for relying on those for accurate information.

Thanks for posting this. I asked how accurate ebenefits was the other day in this thread. I got my unfit memo a couple weeks after yours so our timeline is pretty close for the most part. I'm still stuck on review of evidence so hopefully I will hear some good news as well. I am also at Ft. Campbell!
 
I am reserves. So they won't be asking for my 214. It is crazy weird with reserves. We get final ratings right away. My injures were from active duty though. I am on 290 days for rating. :("""
Well I'm probably on the same road you just traveled stuck in traffic. The fact that I have an appeal pending before I started the IDES process just like you had I think I'm going to be screwed on this one. I have to just settle with the realization I might be spending close to 300 days waiting for ratings as well just like you have.

You sent a 199 for CRSC ? I thought you couldn't apply for CRSC until after you got your final ratings? Am I missing something?

I haven't sent the packet in just yet. I am going to send it in here soon. Was advised to send it in before the final rating so they will both kick in at or around the same time. If its WAY to early than it will get kicked back. I didn't get around to it today. I am going go through the packet and make sure it's solid and send it off next week.

Ok , I was told to wait till I got my final ratings then send it off but I'll do the same as you, since it seems you got better info

Yes you need official ratings before applying CRSC

I was told that they would hold onto the packet and it will be a smooth transaction. I know that you don't get paid for CRSC till after the final ratings kick in. If it don't work it's not a big deal its just copies and the next packet will be ready to go when the time comes.

I'm not sure if this is better info. It's just what I was told was a good thing to do. Either way I'm getting everything ready to go. It's my CRSC recon
 
lol, I know what you mean , I know it doesn't take long to get anyways, my retirement date isn't until 27 may anyways, so no biggie...I'll wait too see what they tell you!! lol
 
Yes you need official ratings before applying CRSC
That's what I thought , I think you told me that before but I can see where Dicky is saying cause my lawyer said the same thing and I told him that I thought it was after final ratings and he says yeah it is...I said you do know it takes the VA forever for that

I got my stuff back the following week. The VA told me it could take up to ten days for the PEB to receive the proposed ratings. Then they have to enter it into there paperwork which took the PEB 5 days in my case. You should expect something within 2 weeks. (If your PEBLO does their job)

Thanks, albeit I definitely comprehend in reference to a "non-supportive" CoC at this point! :mad:

So, I had an opportunity to expeditiously remove their command "advantage" and ran with flying colors (well actually walked very very slowly with my cane, back brace, knee brace, and bilateral wrist cock-up splints). ;)

As such, good deal with the upload of your DD Form 214 onto eBenefits but please remember that an application for CRSC benefits without DoVA final ratings would more than likely be disapproved if I recall accurately.

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

Best Wishes!

Indeed, it may seem as so albeit your DoD IDES process continues while you are almost at endgame for sure! :)

Thanks! In retrospect, my desired outcome wasn't 100% achieved albeit it was more favorable after invoking the DoD IDES appeal process opportunities for sure; never default acceptance to potential injustice is my stance!

Indeed, I can definitely comprehend your heightened anxiety and frustration while in the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process unfortunately! :(

As such, please continue to remain positively proactive while in the DoD IDES process and your very own desired outcome may potentially become a reality for sure in my opinion!
