Thanks... I stay on my PEBLO, I have already blown a 80K a year job because of this damn process... and now haven't gotten any other offers. I'm glad they hiring veterans for federal positions<------SARCASM. It's a joke.
It really depends on what VA is doing your ratings, mines where completed last Friday and was there since Nov 7th
Seattle, WA
How long you been waitingWell that gives me some hope
well my packet was supposed to have gone to the PEB on the 3rd of Dec but it sat on my PEBLO's desk for two weeks waiting on a paper that I already signed to be discovered missing and so I had to resign on the 19th and it was sent to the PEB then. I don't expect to hear anything until at least the end of January. I just know of others who have gotten their packet sent to the PEB lately have been getting through really quickly so we will see. I don't expect this process to move quickly in any way....more hands in the cookie jar the longer it takes....besides isn't it a standard DOD motto to "hurry up and wait!"

Congrats EagleOne. Bout time
As of Jan 2013, I have been in the process for 2 YEARS (from the time the WTU submitted my paperwork)!!! I asked for one administrative reconsideration, but otherwise did everything on time and pushed the system when it was stuck. I hope that I am a rare case.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for your service.
I am finally done...
My Ebennies changed today to Pending Decision Approval. So in a few days it went from Prep for decision to pending decision approval... so now what do you think the realistic timeline is for me to hear something?See my link in my signature block about what happens after signing the DA 199.
Unless expedited, 3 months until you get your 199. If you want to know your results, get with a good VSO in your area (not on a base), that is tied to a VA hospital. Give one of their Veteran's Service Officers your power of attorney, and they should be able to pull up the VA's proposal.
The PEB still has to "receive" the case back from the DRAS, but it shouldn't take very long (backlog dependent!).
It can take another week for them to sign off by the final reviewer, then up to anywhere from 1-30 days for the PEB to receive it back, another 1-3 weeks to get the 199 typed... I would say no more than 2 months at the latest to see your 199. Glad things are moving forward for you!
The Physical Disability Agency will process your orders (after your Formal PEB and any appeals). Depending on your timeline, you might game it to your 20 year mark. Still, you should submit a COAD. You won't get a Presumption of Fitness due to not having approved retirement prior to dictating your NARSUM and not being within a year of mandatory retirement. If you are going to a Formal PEB, let them know your desired outcome. The Board members really are there to take care of Soldiers - it's not designed to be adversarial.
It sure can be, almost everyone has had to fight something or another... I really disagree with that statement sorry...
Last week my PEBLO told me they started my informal 199. So either this week or next week I hope to see something. If it is electronic why would it still take so long.
