    Retirement orders; when to be expected?

    Initially they gave me 28 Dec, but I asked for extra time (overseas move and all) so it was changed to 28 January. I depart 16 Dec though with leave and the permissive TDY.

    Retirement orders; when to be expected?

    I signed on 20 October, and my orders were created Friday, 4 Nov. Since I am in Europe, I didn't get them until Monday. vMPF did update for me with my retirement ate the same day my orders were issued.

    Retirement orders; when to be expected?

    I don't have an answer because I'm in exactly the same situation. I signed for my ratings 20 October and have been waiting since. I know they have already pushed back the overseas assignment notifications by a week, so it seems like they expect it to be awhile before everything catches up. I am...

    I couldn't say one way or the other how the board will decide a specific case. It would be more reliant on what the narsum and the VA examiner had to say in your package.

    Well, I received my ratings from my PEBLO, and the Air Force has thrown me somewhat of a curve ball. They found the sleep disorder which I was going to request the VARR on not to be unfitting, but found the PTSD, which had not been originally sent to the board to be unfitting. Overall my ratings...

    MHites, from what I have seen, the level of help from the VA and the OAC depend entirely on who picks up the phone. I have had one person at the OAC tell me they can't see anything, one willing to give me every status date since the package arrived at AFPC, and yet another tell me they wish they...

    I found out I was unfit from the OAC over the phone, but if your PEBLO is responsive, they can also see this status update. The VA completed my ratings in one week, but I still have not been presented them officially. I received my proposed ratings from the VA, they will fax them 10 business...

    Yeah, I was really surprised about how quickly things went following the C&P exams, but the Air Force has been my hold up through the entire process. As of Friday, my case was still at the case worker that received it from the VA, with no action taken for going on 2 weeks. The VA has been great...

    eBenefits chat?

    I have seen at least one person say they got faxed proposed rating by using VA chat, however every time I have attempted to use eBenefits chat, I am informed that it is only for technical issues and registrations. Is there a different chat that I am missing somewhere? Thanks in advance.

    Well today has been kind of a strange whirlwind... After the update this morning, eBenefits updated to Pending Decision Approval on the original claim a little later, and just now a historical claim showed up as Complete with Decision Notification Sent.

    Package sent back from IPEB

    I figured calling the PEB would be a last resort sort of option if the time went into ridiculous territory and my PEBLO and the OAC could not provide any information.

    IPEB--2nd Go-around--Questions

    If there are conditions you believe are not sufficiently addressed once the summary is back after your VA C&P exams (which should cover all your conditions, not just the unfitting ones), request an Impartial Medical Review before signing the 618 for submission to the IPEB. This is your first...

    ANG and Narcolepsy

    I am being boarded for idiopathic hypersomnia, which is closely related to narcolepsy, but without REM. While researching on the VA Board of appeals website to try and figure out how they would rate me, I found that they consider "narcoleptic episodes" or "sleep attacks" to be analogous with...

    Package sent back from IPEB

    I'm not entirely sure why I got the email, it came with a myPers Incident number, but there is nothing in the incidents list when I log in. It was nice to have the verification that the file made it through review since it had already been sent back once. I'm trying to stay patient at this...

    Package sent back from IPEB

    I signed my 618 and my package was submitted to the IPEB on 24 August. They sent it back on 2 September because it lacked a psychiatrist cosignature. The signature was arranged and my package was resubmitted to the IPEB yesterday. In a case like this, where it has been reviewed and sent back...
