    PDRL pay or VA pay?

    So please correct me if I am totally off here. I received my ratings and I got 40% DOD and 60% VA and I am going to be permanently retired. I have been in the Army for 4 years. The 60% VA comes out to around $1,041 a month. After reading what is below, it sounds like I would be paid more money...

    I am at 205 days waiting on ratings. I claimed 7 conditions, 2 unfitting. I was told by someone last week at the PEB that the VA's priority right now is cases over 180 days. Just FYI

    Update on my timeline. This may help others

    This is all it said: "The current effort is to work cases that are 180 days or older. This case falls into this category and will be worked as soon as possible." I would assume just IDES since that came from the PEB

    I got my PEBLO to contact the PEB on Friday and they told us that the priority right now is cases over 180 days. So anyone in that group should see something relatively soon

    Update. I talked to the VA Friday and got a guy who actually explained everything to me and went through my whole file and basically the IRIS query was wrong and so were the other people i talked too. So he fixed everything in my file. I did find out that the priority right now is cases over 180...

    Update on my timeline. This may help others

    Yeah I haven't received my 199 because I was under the impression that I was waiting on the proposed ratings still. It seems that the PEB thinks the same thing as they never gave anything to the PEBLO. She emailed them to get them to check again for my ratings or to re-request them from the VA...

    Update on my timeline. This may help others

    Bottom line up front. The VA rated my case right after they received my C&P exam results and BEFORE I received my unfit letter from the PEB. I am active duty Army. From what I understand the army would not request ratings from the VA until after I was found unfit by the PEB not just the MEB. I...

    Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

    Yes there is still no word on my ratings. I called the VA two weeks ago and they said they were awaiting the DD214 before they could do my proposed ratings. This is incorrect so I told her and explained how I understood it should work, but all she did was put a note in my file, which I dont...

    Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

    As of today I am at 191 days. Unfit letter of Aug 12, 2013. I put in an IRIS query and made a thread on it here Basically it seems like they think they need a DD214 (discharge orders) when I have still yet to receive my proposed ratings. Ebenefits hasn't moved at all.

    Question about my IRIS query

    So after calling the VA 1800# and talking to my MSC after, it seems that someone doesn't quite know what they are doing. They told me they are waiting on the DD214 (discharge orders). I explained that I am active duty and can't get that to them until I receive the proposed ratings. They are...

    Question about my IRIS query

    I put in an IRIS query about my IDES case and received a response I don't quite understand. I was found unfit for duty 12 Aug 2013. Ever since I have been waiting on my proposed ratings and am now over 170 days waiting on ratings. My MEB was started back in June 2013. Here is the part I don't...

    Question about enlistment bonus

    Thanks. I am active duty army. I was really just more worried if they would recoup it but I assumed they wouldn't

    Question about enlistment bonus

    Does anyone know how they handle the money yet to be paid on an enlistment bonus? I received an enlistment bonus of 20,000. I got the first 10k when I arrived at my first duty station. The rest is given for the rest of my initial enlistment on my year mark. I signed for 6 years and have another...

    Rating for Ulnar Neuropathy?

    One of my unfitting conditions is a left ulnar neuropathy (at the elbow), moderately severe. This is my non-dominant arm. For the life of me I can't seem to find the right way to rate this looking through the VASRD. If anyone could give me some kind of idea how that will be rated I would...

    Question about bonuses

    When getting a medical discharge through the IDES what do they do about bonuses? Do you have to pay back the amount you have received? Do they just not pay you the rest you are owed? Do they still pay you since they are service connected?

    Baltimore VA timelines?

    So it appears that my packet is at the Baltimore VA for ratings. Called the VA and they said they have all the information they need. I'm around 105 days waiting on ratings. Does anyone have an idea on their timelines?
