Happy Monday! wondering if anyone is familiar with the SMCRA in relation to PEB/discharge - would it make you eligible for any of the coverings of the SMCRA or not since it's not an overseas PCS/deployment?

The PEB must sign off on the VA's decision, as well as they use the VA's rating to determine the DoD rating. All cases end up back at the PEB after the VA before they make it back to you.

As of Monday, November 18 they said they are at 30 days.

You're just going to have to hurry up and stand by unfortunately. Your NASRUM being finished means the PEB is about to begin, once that happens you're looking at 3-5 weeks to be found fit or 6-8 to be found unfit. Once you're found unfit your case gets sent to the VA which is a ~2-3 week...

When did you get the 45 day estimate?

Adding this note: if your claim is still at the VA stage you can call their customer service at 800-827-1000 and ask them if they've received the case from the PEB and if they can give you a status update. I've actually found that they're very helpful and willing to give you any information...

800-827-1000

Posting this for a central source of this information, updated TODAY (18NOV) The D.C. office is no longer allowed to give out any information about cases, they're directing everyone back to their PEBLO Additionally, once your case comes back from the VA and goes to the PEB for final decision it...

In the interim between my reply and yours, I spoke with a Gunny at the office in DC who said QA is undermanned and at a ~30 day timeline right now. Hurry up and wait...again.

Spoke with a Gunny @ that 6422 extension. Said QA is at a 30 day timeline right now, that's once it leaves the VA and comes back to the PEB.

Are you saying that once the VA adjudicates & sends back to the PEB it's a 30 day timeline?

As of ~3 weeks ago, PEB office in DC can't give out info over the phone.

Mine went to the VA on 22OCT and came back 8NOV. You can call their customer service line and ask if there's a status. Have you checked the status online? It's possible they've already finished & you're just awaiting final PEB decision.
