Does anyone know if the Army PEB board at Fort Sam Houston are still working during this shutdown crisis? Specifically are they still finding Soldiers Fit/Unfit? And are they still ratifying VA proposed ratings with 199 production? Or are they too shut down or slashed of “non essential...

Day 158 since found unfit and VA acknowledged receipt of unfit memo sent to Seattle, and the VA has proposed ratings. My DAV Rep and MSC (Military Service Coordinator) let me know that there had been some movement. Both told me I would “Be very Satisfied” with the proposed ratings once they...

I am confused about Vocational Rehab. Does Vocational Rehab subtract from my Post 9-11 Gi Bill months? Can anyone tell me where I can look to find out if my kids get any college for free if the VA only finds me 70-90% disabled? I have the entire Post 9-11 Gi Bill left (I was hoping to save it...

Good People: Does anyone know what VA regional office handles IDES post unfit PEB claims for Fort Polk? I know that I have not waited nearly as long as some of you out there, and I will admit I am a little jittery. But I am getting confusing answers from my PEBLO and my VA rep has yet to...
