    Fibromyalgia Rating

    I got 40% for Fibro alone and retirement. Very similar pain situation to you for over two years of just no meds working, in agony at work. My MEB/PEB concluded in February or so and I was officially out on PDRL by mid May. I started the MEB medboard phase in December 2021. Slow to go but then...

    My IDES timeline

    That’s good to hear, same timeline here roughly so now we wait. Mine has been missing on the VA app for several months now… I keep checking it hoping I’ll see something pop up again.

    Our timeline is so similar and this gives me so much hope it’ll be this month.

    JBLE- Fibromyalgia timeline

    Wow. Amazing. Our timelines are spot on and I also have not seen anything on the VA site at all recently, like it’s totally empty. Hopeful to see something soon as well. Congrats.

    IDES Timeline

    Any ideas as to what this response from my PEBLO could possibly mean timeline-wise? I'm active Navy and my PEBLO is not always helpful or responsive, so much that I was surprised to get more than the "be patient" email from her after only emailing her once a month now so she knows that I am...

    Fort Bragg Timeline

    Same situation here. Been since 29JUL and haven’t heard anything on if the PEB has even come to a decision yet much less anything from the VA. PEBLO is just not helpful at all and constantly acts annoyed even though I make an effort to only reach out once a month. Hang in there.

    Yep… 6 weeks past submission to PEB for me as well. I’d say expect 2-3 months at least.

    Backpay after IDES?

    Hi all, Kinda new to lots of this lingo, but currently active duty going through PEB phase now of IDES. I’ve been told by some VA contacts that I am eligible for backpay to the start of the medboard process. Then others say backpay only to your date of discharge out of active duty. Thoughts or...

    PCM seeking MEB, Mental Health/Fibromyalgia

    Your report is pretty spot on to what mine reads. I’m currently reviewing MEB findings then onto PEB next… I was initially referred 19DEC for the MEB. I’d say you have a strong case! Almost identical to mine, same average pain levels and prescriptions. Best of luck to you.

    JBLE- Fibromyalgia timeline

    I have a similar claim, Fibro plus many secondary items. My general and final C&P was done on 17MAR… the DBQ for that was uploaded 23 APR and all other DBQs were uploaded early April I saw on TOL. Haven’t heard anything though since 23APR, losing hope… no NARSUM yet. But just gotta keep waiting...

    JBSA Timeline

    If you don’t mind me asking, what are some of your other claimed conditions? I’m primarily fibro, but also have TMJ, MDD, etc. just wondering for comparison as mine moves along here.

    JBSA Timeline

    New to this forum. Your timeline is extremely close to mine, and mine is also moving fast. Also claiming Fibromyalgia and around 25 conditions total. It is reassuring to see someone else in a same boat and be found unfit. Please continue to share updates! I completed VA exams two weeks ago and...
