Finally got done fighting with admin on giving me my terminal/PTAD. I pick up my DD-214 Monday the 12th at 8AM. I have to sell 9.5 days of leave because of their resistance. It was like pulling teeth for them to actually process my paperwork.

I have the recommendation from the Bn CO. I get my copy today at 1300 and I am in contact with someone at MMSR-4. Should have the July 30 date in Unit Diary before the end of the day. This headache is finally over.

Looking around the board I see that the regression to "Gathering of Evidence" usually means they are waiting on a DD-214. It takes a couple weeks for the PEB to process and get the ratings to your PEBLO for you to review. Once your PEBLO knows, you will know as they only have 24 hours to notify...

I thought the same as well...

Contacted MMSR-4 today and they have a DIARY entry for me today. They currently have my EAS set to August 30, 2014. I asked that if they can make the final day July 30, 2014 as the August date will make me ineligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. I am counting on at least $16,000 of financial...

Glad I'm not the only one memorizing the menu options for talking to a disability agent, haha.

Still waiting on MMSR-4 to process my EAS (how long could it take, I did the calculation in under a minute). I did have a Lumbar Sympathetic Block yesterday though and oh my god is it an amazing feeling being without pain(mostly). The procedure wasn't the most comfortable but once they were done...

How long is it taking everyone to have their EAS updated after signing their ratings? I signed mine Monday the 21st and still have heard nothing.

I recently received my ratings as well and here is what I know. Call an IDES attorney and have them review your rating determination and your medical documentation. If your condition was stable and there is no new medical evidence and if the IDES attorney does not spot an error in your...

I've seen this around this forum quite a bit. What it usually means is they are just waiting for you to separate and get your DD214 before they can begin payments. I would contact the VA hotline, VA Rep and/or your PEBLO for more specific info on your case. When I called the VA hotline they...

Yes it has. It did it three times and it is seemingly random. I would call the VA hotline to see if there is a decision pending approval on your case. Once they say that then the PEB will process it a week or two later. The only thing that I would trust MOL to say is the updated EAS. If you...

Received my findings today. 10% DoD/ 40% VA. I received 10% for my knee. I was expecting this since I have full flexion/extension, but have painful motion. According to the regulations(also spoke with an IDES attorney) painful motion is a flat 10%. 30% for Pes Planus. 0% for post-op scarring...

Both, and neither. I've heard that active duty are expedited and I've heard that it goes through like everyone else. I go by SOO since my claim hasn't started in one VA center and transferred to another. I got my ratings back today. 10% DoD, 40% VA. Monday I have an appointment to go back to my...

I was looking at the MMWR reports and it seems like Providence is on a solid positive trend in average pending times. Here is the link: http://www.vba.va.gov/REPORTS/mmwr/
