I am a bit confused on if I will receive back pay on my VA claim. September 2011 my VA claim started during my process in the IDES system. I was rated 70% by the Army and discharged on TDRL in April. My proposed 80% rating from the VA is now complete. My question is will I receive back pay from...

If you are retired and once PDA is done you will have 90 days from the time you got your email from transition rep giving you your military end date. For example, I got a email Jan 25th with an end date of April 24th. I don't want to use the 20 days PTDY so I didnt take them. I did use my 85...

You should get the same proposed ratings 70% and 100% from your PEBLO but after you sign and confirm it goes back to the PEB and then to PDA which they make the final approval. They can change your rating if they see a reason to do so and will forward it back and you have a chance to accept or...

Thanks Jason but they are offering me TDRL so by accepting the VA comp will I receive tricare and other benefits for my family?

I just received my results today. My estimated retired pay for DoD is TDRL $1991.50 and for VA it is $1936.00 including dependents. My Army compensation is slightly higher than the VA. My question is will I get taxed on the TDRL or can I accept the VA comp even if it is slightly lower than the...

I received 70% DoD and 80% VA. I am taking the TDRL. Anyone know information on the TDRL process as far as being contacted for the first exam thanks. Timeline below Fort Gordon IDES update 05/23/2011- Army doctor referred me to MEB 06/30/2011- PEBLO initial counseling/ commander notified...

Just received a call from my PEBLO today to come in Tuesday to review ratings. If I agree on everything then I start the transition phase. Almost over

That is about right 2 months after I signed my completed MEB on 11/03/2011 but I think it depends on your case too. How many claims, the length of claims in medical history, if more evidence is needed and the amount of days the PEBLO and VA reps sit on your packet before sending it off. It is a...

Fort Gordon IDES update 05/23/2011- Army doctor referred me to MEB 06/30/2011- PEBLO initial counseling/ commander notified 07/26/2011- VA claim filed 08/22/2011- QTC appointment 08/26/2011- QTC appointment 08/27/2011- QTC appointment 09/14/2011- VA has claim and QTC exams...

You can call the VA and speak with a rep. If your packet has been forwarded from the PEB to the VA they can at least tell you more details about your case. I called my PEBLO Thursday and she said my packet is still with the VA but when I called the VA, they told me my case was completed and I...

I think the number of unfit conditions plays an important part on how fast a case comes back unfit or fit. Other things are a consideration too such as your time in service, how far your medical records go back for your claim issues. For example, if you have 15 years of service, don't expect...

Yes the Army use AKO for udates but it is only accurate when the PEBLO updates the system. Since my packet has gone to the VA since December 2, 2011, I been getting updates from the VA side by calling the 800#. My AKO has not been updated since December 7, 2011. I call my PEBLO once a week and...

My ebenifits status also went to pending decision approval for ratings. I don't have much input here but just waiting to here something. In my opinion this might be that the case is finish and this is where you get the propose rating rating which has to be approved by PDA but don't quote me on...

I called my PEBLO last Friday and asked for a status update. She told me my PEB was forwarded to the VA Dec. 2 2011. I did an inquiry for a VA rep to tell me more about my status. The representative called me today and said they have received my PEB and at this time they don't know when it will...

I spoke with my PEBLO last Friday to get a status on my PEB. She told me that my PEB was forwarded to the DVA for ratings December 2, 2011. I thought the PEBLO supposed to call you in and go over the the PEB findings before sending it off to the VA. I guess I am unfit if my PEB findings are at...

Can someone help me understand the IPEB timelines for Fort Sam? My PEBLO said that my IPEB should be complete 30-45 days after sending it off. It is funny how I'm seeing some MEB cases filed after mines with results already in and soldiers are in the transition phase. Does years of sercvice and...

I feel your pain but you are lucky to be close to complete. Mines started in May 2011 and we are now in December and I am still waiting on unfit from IPEB. I wont make plans for my family until I get my rating back

I called the VA last week and explained to them that the ebenefits website dosen't really tell you anything. Ok I get it, my status has been in the 1st phase for 4 months. So I called and they took my information down and someone called back in a couple of days. The VA rep pulled my info while...

I am going through a similar situation. I guess it is a waiting game. Are you waiting on PEB unfit or fit? or waiting on VA rating? My Peblo told me November 9 2011 the day she sent my packet to the PEB that it will be 30 to 45 days to have my unfit and ratings back.

I see you have bilateral conditions, which may work out good for you. Yes the timelines are crazy because I know someone that started in July and they are already in the transition phase as we speak. I went through a lot of stress and anger with my unit during my MEB and I am at the point that I...
