Waiting is certainly tough, but when your PEBLO is AWOL that makes it very frustrating. I'm at 57 days since receiving my VA ratings---199 should be here any day now....ha.

ALL previous C&Ps (last 12 years) involving my ROM were <30 (Forward Flexion), and the trained tech used a Goinometer as their primary tool each time. My Army C&P was a 15-20min Q&A, with no ROM test no trained tech, just a Dr. with calibrated eyeballs I guess----he said my forward flexion was...

L4, L5, S1 DDD and L5 (left) radiculopathy. I was 40% [VA] on DDD for over 12 years until my "Army" C&P, then they dropped me down to 10%. So today I stand at 10% DDD, 10% Radiculopathy----20% total [VA 90% total].

I know there are good/great PEBLOs out there…..wish I knew one Thanks for being honest/open and thank you for your service. I'm sure what you are saying is accurate, however, insert one apathetic or ignorant PEBLO into the equation then the perfect storm hits. The VA is what it is, a beast...

Thanks so much Warrior644! I did send a similiar excerpt on protected ratings from my PEBLO, but not as detailed. I will package this too. After I sent it to her via email her response was......... nothing.

I see your point considering I posted in this particular forum. However, (I should have clarified) I am frustrated because i've been on med-hold since 2008, no promotions, no nothing, not just IDES--that said, my "beat that" was purely sarcasm; no disrespect intended. After reading through...
