Good news Ratings are in!!! 50% TDRL / 70% VA

RATINGS ARE IN!!!!!! 50%TDRL / 70% VA Adjustment Disorder w/ Mixed Anxiety and Depressed mood (Also claimed as Insomnia & Sleep Disturbances): 50% Migraines: 30% Iliotibial Band Syndrome: 10% Right toe condition: 10% Conditions that were not rated: Bilateral dry eye syndrome (result of PRK)...

The reason why your overall rating from the VA is 70% even though you got 50% PTSD and 40% for your back is because (and this is how the VA rep explained it to me) if you look at your body as a total 100%, then minus 50% for your PTSD, leaving 50% of your body left that's good. Then take 40% of...

Mine never did that. one day I noticed the status changed to "decision notification sent" so I checked historical claims and it said when it was opened and closed. Hoping to hear something back next week though

@Gunner1210 I never got an official unfit memo, just so happened that when I called my PEBLO about a month after my packet was sent off that he said they already found me unfit. As for the ratings my 2 month was March 21, the VA closed my case on March 4 so I should hear back from the PEB in the...

Yes, anti-depressants are in a wide range of categories. I'm most familiar with the Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa, etc., and those seem to be the psychiatrists' favorites. The explanation I got is that those are used not just for depression but...

Thank you! That was a big "what's next" question I had and couldn't seem to get answers too. The way the supervisor at the VA was saying was that they only did my proposed ratings and they hadn't even given a final decision. I didn't know if that meant they hadn't been sent to the PEB for their...

pretty discouraged right now :/ I spoke with a supervisor at the VA yesterday and turns out my 'proposed ratings' are done, which is why my historical claim says closed March 4 but that my overall claim is still open and waiting for the final decision. he said my case has been open since 25 NOV...

I called the VA hotline, all they said was I should get a letter in the mail in the next 2 days, apparently you have to wait 10 mailing days from the date your case was closed that they send the letter out. And if by then you have not received a letter you have to make a Written Request to the...

I've been looking through a lot of threads about severance. I'm still waiting for my ratings to be finalized and come back from the PEB, that being said I will most likely get severance so I was told by Legal. That being said, my disqualifier is service-connected but Not combat related. That...

I spoke with my PEBLO Tuesday and he said he still hasn't seen anything but to expect a call in about 2-3 weeks for my ratings!

I'm at Bragg as well. I started IDES 25 NOV 15, did all the appointments, signed the NARSUM 21 JAN 16, I was found Unfit (I don't know the date because when I called my PEBLO he's like oh yeah I got that awhile ago we're just waiting on your ratings) and as of now the only update I have is that...

How long did it take for you to get your 199 after ebenefits changed. I just noticed my changed yesterday and said it was opened 01 MAR 16 and closed 04 MAR 16. but I haven't heard anything from my PEBLO yet

Yeah same here my started 25NOV15 so it's like come on. A buddy of mine who's on the same timeframe as we are already has his out date, orders, and starts leave the end of this month so I call bullshit on them being done in the order they receive them. But I agree this has a huge impact on our...

How long have you been waiting?
