Thanks for the reply! Wow...I didn't even get that much less any notification I was assigned to a new PEBLO. I happened to walk-in the MEB office to ask a question Friday afternoon and sat down with a stranger who later informed me he was my PEBLO and has been on my case for about two months...

Here's my case timeline to date: 30 Jan 2012 - MEB initiated (2nd time) 9 Feb 2012 - Initial VA mtg/claim initiated 24 Feb 2012 - QTC appt #1 28 Feb 2012 - QTC appt #2/ Hearing Test 12 Mar 2012 - NARSUM complete 16 Mar 2012 - Local MEB - "Forward to IPEB" / NARSUM needed revision to more...

I totally hear you and it's totally stupid. I was told by my CC that I will take whatever portions of the PT test (AC measurement) regardless of being on profile. And if I fail, I fail and I will accept a referral OPR and any other course of action required. Prior to my medical issues I have...

That's AWFUL! I never received a call or visitor from anyone in leadership until the 3rd time I was in hospital. Well I take that back...I did receive texts from my supervisors and co workers about 4 times a day to write my OPR for about a month that I never responded to because I was...

Sorry to hear you're out of the loop too! That's probably my biggest complaint about the meb process-the PEBLOs are useless! It's a shot in the dark but here's what I've been doing. Call the main VA number 1-800-827-1000 option 1-1-0. If you can get a hold of someone knowledgeable (you may have...

Congrats on the ratings. You are one of the lucky ones! From what it sounds like, your PEBLO is actually doing their job! For most of us we are completely left in the dark having to dig for updates ourselves. Hopefully your case is closed soon and have minimal waiting time. =)

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Stupid question... Can anyone tell me the difference between the Cleveland and Baltimore VA centers for ratings? If your case goes to Baltimore does it mean you have been found "Unfit?"

I apologize, you are correct. Exposure to vaccinations, chemicals, and other items has been around in the military for decades...not just the last 10 yrs. Your situation sounds awful - not to point out the obvious. I just don't understand why it's like this and why leadership is so quick to turn...

To an extent you are correct about having this system in place...but to say for injuries NOT caused by work is not entirely true. While most of my conditions are subsequent of one another brought on by eclampsia, work/military was a HUGE contributor/cause to my BP & Seizure. I was on bed rest...

That is absolutely ridiculous! I knew this system was broken, but anything longer than 4 mos is ridiculous. It's not good for the member (especially the stress of just waiting in limbo and dealing with the AF process) or the service. Have you considered opening a congressional inquiry? I would...

Hello all. I finally decided to register for an account after a few months of observing the infomation on this site (very helpful by the way). So here's my story/timeline to date. Last April I delivered my 1st baby early due to having severe eclampsia as a result of my pre-eclampsia being...
