Status update: Talked to Patient Advocacy here at BAMC last week. Miraculously, my ratings just came back today. Don't know if it's a coincidence of what but got 20% Army/90% VA. Thanks for all your help.

Status update: Contacted BAMC Patient Affairs/Ombudsman on Thursday afternoon. She was very apologetic but then gave the same line, "you just need to wait etc etc." Said she'd talk to a few people at the PEB and VA and would get back with me either Friday or Monday. Thanks for everybodys help.

Question: Is it worth filing a Congressional Complaint about this?

Wow, what a clusterfuck. This is ridiculous. Is there anyway to request this condition be rated later and let me take what ratings I have now and process out of the Army? My PEBLO is clueless about this shit. They're apparently not old anything about this whole situation and have been told to...

Hello all, Active duty Soldier here stationed at Fort Sam Houston. Initiated a MEB/PEB back in September 2012 for injuries to my back. Finished the exam phase quickly and the MEB/PEB were finished quickly as well. The PEB found me unfit on 30 November 2012 and my case was forwarded to the VA...
