My conditions are not combat related. I'm very happy with 70 and 70, just need to tell the PEBLO that he's giving out wrong info.

I just received my 199 and I've been awarded 70% Military and 70% V.A (permanent). I have 14 years in and my Peblo swears up and down that I will get both military and V.A. pay. I keep telling him that he's not correct. I do not qualify for concurent receipt. He's telling me that because my...

Well, I just received a call from the PEB at Ft. Sam Houston (in all fairness, the people there have been great, unlike my PEBLO whom I have'nt talked to in about 2 months) and was told that their system is down and it might be another 1 to 2 weeks before they can start processing paperwork...

Sgt B, I'm in the same boat. My VA ratings were complete at the end of August. I have already gotten my VA ratings from the Seattle office. Unfortunatly, the PEB has never received my VA ratings. I have been calling SFC Vargas every week. She finally told me that something does not sound right...

This is really odd..... My E-Benifits page shows that my case was closed out and that results were sent out on Aug. 30, 2012. I just got off of the phone with a V.A. representative and he told me that my case was still in the final stages and that it would take about 29 days to finish up. I...

I feel your pain! My MEB started at Ft. Leonard Wood back in 2010. I was then told that all National Guard MEBs would be going through Pinellas Park, FL. Took forever to get to Ft. Gordon (where it is now). Ft. Gordon received my paperwork back in Dec, 2011. I could never get a hold of my first...

According to RC-SMSC, my packet was received on May 25, 2011. They have not even started the validation process for me. I was informed last week that my ETS is coming up in Dec. and that the RC-SMSC wanted to make sure that my unit would be medically extending me. Only took them 3 months to let...

So very frustrating...... I sent a letter to each of my Senators and to my Congressman. I just received a phone call from my Congressmans' representative and she said that they were dropping my case because I had contacted my Senators and they thought that it was "overkill" to have all three...

Ditto for me. I have been trying to contact ANYBODY for information, but after 3 e-mails to the RC-SMSC with no reply back, I'm getting extremley frustrated (been going through the MEB process for over 2 years now with worsening health issues. Does anyone in the Army even care?).

Thanks for the info! Looks like the only thing I can do is continue to wait.....

Well, I found out very little on this so far. My MEB packet was at Ft Leonard Wood for over 3 months and they never assiged a PEBLO to me or got anything started. I just found out that my packet is now being sent to Pinellas Park, Florida under this new "MEB Surge Processing". Apparently, it's...

First, a little background about my situation: Army National Guard, 14 years. I was medevaced from Iraq and I have 2 LODs for asthma and PTSD. I am still in the Guard and I'm also a Federal Technician working in Missouri. I have been going through the MEB process since April 2009. In August 2009...
