Okay, so I uploaded the 214. They closed that claim and opened a new one dated the day I retired. Is that how it usually goes? I'm not getting any answers when I call the VA other than an ETA of 1-2 months.

Hi and not yet. I've been trying to upload it today on va.gov (ebennies is saying that the claims status features was moved to va.gov). I've uploaded it four times today and it still isn't showing up in there. I just found out from a friend who was also just medically retired from the AF that I...

Hi All. I was ADAF until 28 March, at which time I was retired (with 20yrs and 9mos TIS) due to IDES/IPEB unfit finding (30% DOD and 70% VA). I was notified of the unfit finding my by PEBLO in December (2018) and my retirement date was 28 Mar 19 (about two weeks ago). I logged into ebenefits...

No, 30% migraines and 40% other medical conditions (tinnitus, bunions, IBS, and arthritis in my spine and neck). With migraines alone I should have rated at 50% (I met the criteria) but since I got 40% for things I wasn't planning on/didn't know about I didn't contest the rating.

Thanks for the reply! I really don't mind outprocessing on terminal leave, but is it even allowed? I wasn't saving all of my leave for terminal leave use; the med board and retirement were unexpected. I'm a night shift RN so I'm used to a crappy night schedule; having to go to a few day appts...

Hi all. I'm really confused about terminal leave and was hoping someone could clarify it for me. I met with my Peblo today, signed for my ratings and filled out the form for my orders information (I'm ADAF in 20.5 yrs MEB'd for migraines on botox). I put 27 Mar 19 for the date of separation on...

Definitely can, thank you! And happy holidays!

Hi! So right after I got the email from AFPC I called my Peblo, and she had all of the med board ppwk with the VA ratings and DoD rating in her office. When you sign for the ratings and they officially notify you of the results in person your Peblo will give you copies of everything. I don't...

Thanks! My ebennies as well as va.gov show my ratings were sent in the mail the day the claim moved to historical claims (but its still also showing under open claims at pending decision approval). The historical claim says decision later was sent on 12/17 and claim was closed, but I haven't...

Hello! I have a question about my DoD rating. I was just found unfit by the IPEB. ADAF with 20.5 years in service. My ratings, according to the paperwork I got today, are 30% DoD/70% VA. Unfit for migraines that require botox. I understand the DoD rating is only for the migraines, and my Peblo...

Update - Peblo called and AFPC emailed me today, unfit finding. I'll be retiring in the next few months! :D

Hi all! I'm currently going through IPEB (pkg sent to AFPC 11/27 per Mypers email). Just curious, on va.gov C&P claim says complete and it says decision later has been sent from the VA via mail on 12/17. On ebennies the C&P claim is listed under historical (status completed) as well as open...

I received an email re the IDES survey the same day I received an email from my Peblo stating she sent my VA appt findings to my PCM for review (which she also emailed me copies of). Is this a normal part of the IPEB process? I haven't heard of the VA or Peblo re-engaging a PCM once the NARSUM...

Forgot to add this is at four different bases too. I'm not sure how the "deploy or get out" policy will play into botox therapy heading forward AFwide (since Army and Navy can get botox downrange but AF can't at this time).

Hi! I've been seeing neuro for migraines since 2000 and have been on botox since 2006. I just hit 20 years AD in July. My MEB, not because of the migraines but because of the botox, was initiated in May of this year, and it was only initiated because my ability to deploy while on botox was...

Hi all! Just wondering has anyone had to sign a waiver to have their IPEB done at their base? I was asked for approval to have my board conducted here at the base I'm stationed at instead of at AFPC since I'm medical, and the MDG I'm assigned to will be reviewing my case. Pros, cons, thoughts...

Hi! I'm ADAF. My PCM assigned a code 31 until the DAWG met (5/17th or so). The DAWG decided I would undergo an MEB and they then changed the code 31 to a code 37 (5/24). The NARSUM was just sent to the PEBLO from my PCM about 1.5 weeks ago (7/20); now I'm waiting on the Commander's Statement...

Hello, I was wondering if someone could clarify the difference between an MEB and an IRILO? The DAWG at my base met in May and discussed my case, then I received a phone call from my PCM stating I was being forwarded for an MEB. My 469 then changed from a code 31 to a code 37 and now states at...

I saw some guidance from 11/2015 that stated that PCMs should not be changed once an MEB had been initiated for continuity last night as well.

I just got word last night that my PCM was changed to a different PCM. I had an appt with my PCM last week for insomnia meds (not MEB-related), and I was told by my PCM that she hadn't been able timewise to start the package yet. She had me fill out a form with a bunch of questions regarding my...
