    Proposed Ratings- Appeal additional claim or not

    I think the "continuous care" is more about the symptoms being continuous and how they affect both your quality of life and ability to work. For example I have musculoskeletal injuries that I had failed surgeries on and now have ROM and significant pain which will get a rating. On the other hand...

    IDES Timeline

    Anybody in the PEB phase have any insight as to what the current timeline is or what the reasoning is for the apparent backlog? I'm hearing 2-3 months but not sure how accurate that is. For a fairly simple process that is supposed to take two weeks, I cannot comprehend why it would take this long.

    Ft Stewart

    If you don't want to fight it and a physician thought you had reached the MRDP to refer you to IDES, then you'll likely be found unfit. If you want to stay in and it's only on or two conditions with a chance of improvement then you could try fighting it. As for the PEB phase, I'm currently in...

    My Commander is trying switch me to the LDES.

    Well there's your answer. He doesn't want you to get to 20 years. We're talking about potentially losing a couple of million dollars in retirement pay over the course of a lifetime. I would pull out all the stops if I were you. Ask him if there is any specific reason why he wants this and see...

    My Commander is trying switch me to the LDES.

    Is there some sort of personality conflict? From my understanding after the legal briefing, it is the servicemember's choice. The only reasons I can see a Commander even trying this is to screw you over. They either want you out as quickly as possible for whatever reason or you are close to 20...

    IDES Timeline

    NARSUM received. 7 unfit conditions, 9 conditions that meet retention criteria. Everything looks in order with the NARSUM and legal said that I should be at 100% VA even with conservative percentages. My C&P exams report was ridiculously sloppy and did not add up when compared to my med records...

    C&P Exam inaccuracies

    Good morning everyone, I had my C&P exams a couple of months ago and received both my NARSUM as well as the DBQ's. There is a huge mismatch between the C&P exam reports and the NARSUM/my medical records. What options do I have if my VA ratings come back and do not accurately reflect the...

    IDES Timeline

    I called QTC within a few days of submitting my claimed conditions to my VA Rep and they were able to schedule C&P exams for me. I'm assuming that if I had waited for them to contact me I'd still be waiting on the C&P exams. Also, I chose to go to providers far away from my duty station (70+...

    IDES Timeline

    I would probably wait a bit longer than a few days or you'll end up frustrated. I completed all my exams more than two weeks ago and QTC still hasn't received my General Exam report from the provider. Then they QA/QC everything before they send it to the VA. My assumption is that it won't get to...

    IDES Timeline

    I've contacted my PEBLO and while she is responsive, she also seems very brief and never gets into details so I feel a little anxious over timelines and the processes. It shouldn't feel rushed as if they have something better to do than their jobs.

    IDES Timeline

    I assumed as much. Just wasn't sure whether it would be as bad as line units are in regards to productivity during the holidays.

    IDES Timeline

    Trying to get an idea of how long I'm looking at based on where I'm at in the process. I was referred to IDES in the beginning of October and it seems to be going very fast compared to everyone else on here. I just completed the last of my C&P exams on Monday so roughly 40 days since referral...

    Thanks! Two weeks to schedule from the MSC meeting to list all conditions? Where are you at timeline wise thus far?

    Fort Bragg MEB Timeline

    Good Morning all, I'm over 22 years which does affect benefits but shouldn't impact the process from my understanding. I am trying to figure out what the current timeline is for Ft Bragg from IDES referral to signing out on terminal leave. I'm being given answers ranging from 5 months to a...
