    Nope. Still waiting to hear from PEBLO. Debating if I should reach out tomorrow. Have you?

    IDES Dashboard

    I received my proposed ratings from the VA on Tuesday and now I’m just waiting for my PEB results. When I logged into the IDES dashboard this week, this is what it’s showing. Does this mean my PEBLO has my PEB results and I’m just waiting for him to contact me?

    Proposed Ratings- Appeal additional claim or not

    The pre cancer cells came from the cyst that was removed. I do bloodwork every 3 months to monitor my cancer ag125 count. So far I’ve stayed under what it needs to be so that’s good

    Proposed Ratings- Appeal additional claim or not

    Completely makes sense! I wasn’t sure what exactly they were looking for in the “continuous treatment” so thank you for explaining!

    Proposed Ratings- Appeal additional claim or not

    Currently in the MEB process and I received my proposal ratings from the VA yesterday. Overall, pretty happy. However, here’s my issue. One of my claims was that I had an ovarian cyst, ovary, and Fallopian tube removed in 2018 and the lab results came back pre cancerous. Since then, I have...

    What do you ask when you call? I just finished my last exam today so I’ll give them a few days before I start calling.

    Additional Exam Recommended

    so I’m currently doing my c&p exams and had a dental one. During the exam, the provider recommended that I get a sleep study done and he put it in his notes as well. Afterwards, I emailed my PEBLO and asked how to schedule it, and he told me that’s something my PCM would have to do. I’m confused...

    Claims

    I’m in the MEB process and when I discussed what I would be claiming with my VA rep, he told me I couldn’t claim anything if I didn’t have a diagnosis or currently under a treatment plan for it. However, I’ve talked to a lot of people who have told me that’s not true and I can claim anything I...

    Completed Timeline

    Would you say your appts from July to orders cut were expedited since you were behind from COVID, or the normal timeline for now? Im also at Hood and just had my MEB initiated this week. I know I have a bit of waiting to do, but just curious.

    Fit/Unfit

    He’s the one who brought it up initially, not myself. I know to not ask for one in a way, and I haven’t. At my last appt with him, he wanted me to follow up with him after my RFA to discuss MEB if pain management said I had reached MRDP.

    Fit/Unfit

    I understand that. I guess I worded it that way because my PCM is the one who initially mentioned starting the MEB. My last appt with him was before my RFA, and he wanted me to ask them if I had reached MRDP, and if so, he wanted to talk MEB with me. That’s also what he put in his notes in my...

    Fit/Unfit

    Back in Oct 2019, I started being seen for lower back pain. I was sent to physical therapy in January and did PT until March, when they told me there was nothing else they could do for me. My PCM then ordered xrays and an MRI for me. The MRI found I have a herniated disc and arthritis in my...

    MEB Potential

    Apologies if this is the wrong thread, first post here and wasn’t sure where to go. I’ve had knee issues since 2014. I did physical therapy in HI, did electric shock therapy (can’t remember exact term) and it was fine for about 2 years. During those 2 years, I PCS’ed to Fort Hood. My knee...
