In Nov 2024 I started the MEB process. Received my ratings back from the board 16 March 2025. I didn't agree with my ratings and neither did my attorney, so we submitted a VARR 20 May 2025. I'm just looking to see what the average wait time is for a VARR. Once I do get that back, how much time...

I was initially rated 70% for my referring condition. The proposed rating stated: We have assigned a 70 percent evaluation for your major depressive disorder based on: ... A higher evaluation of 100 percent is not warranted for a mental disorder unless the evidence shows total occupational...

Hey everyone, Got my results back. 50%DoD and 90% VA. Referred condition was lumbar spondylosis. I got 40% for main back issue and 10% each leg for radiculopathy. My ODC lawyer mentioned I could try to get 40% each leg if I get a letter confirming severity by my neurosurgeon. Has anyone...

Hello everyone. I am AD Navy, 0-3 with 9 years 6 mos of service. I received my findings at 30% DOD / 90% VA on TDRL. Referred conditions are chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. I am electing to pursue the FPEB because my findings for sinusitis say stable but was still put on TDRL, I...

Hello, I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows how long AF VARRS is currently taking to get processed. I realize each condition could affect the timeline slightly differently, so I am just looking for a general anticipated timeline. If you recently submitted an AF VARR, how long have you been...

Got my IPEB results back 70%/90% for PTSD. Considering submitting a VARR for 100%, utilizing reckless driving/speeding arrest records and possibly sleep study results as evidence. Is this a good idea?

Well guys, I did every step so you don't have to! Here's my full timeline! Referred - July 26, 2022 Legal - August 1, 2022 C&P complete - August 29, 2022 NMA - September 28, 2022 CA - October 4, 2022 PEB Accept - October 7, 2022 Unfit - November 29, 2022 VERA - Confirmed that rater is working -...

Hey I have a few questions regarding VARR’s if anyone can help out. 1. What is the current turnaround time looking like? 2. Any advice on getting it approved? 3. Does it delay the processing of your separation if you’ve already hit medical retirement percentages? Thanks!

HI All, I had got my ratings back and i elected to waive the formal hearing which was set in November of this year to VARR. Is that a good decision? Basically i had gotten the flexion degrees reevaluated using a goniometer. Once i had that evaluation i had asked the IDES lawyer for an opinion he...

Gooood afternoon y'all, Been struggling with this for going on 5 weeks now. I accepted my unfit findings and requested a VA Rating Reconsideration on my referred condition on June 27th. As stated, I have been waiting 5 weeks as of today and still nothing. My attorney states they don't inform...

Good Day y'all I'm currently waiting for my hard ratings (199) but i already know i got screwed over by the doctor during my c&p exam when she tried to measure with goniometer the flexion on lower back, so i barely moved 15-25 degrees but on my dbq results it says my flexion is 60 degrees. My...

Have a question for some of you folks on here that are past or rather recently completed the IDES C&P exams at the VA. Is there a new way of conducting ROM tests? My examiner did it “hands on” and via line of sight. Is this the norm for those of you that have gone through it recently? I was...

What should I do. I received my packet back and its only giving me 20% for DOD and 80% VA now. The reason I want to fight this is because the examiner only used my QTC ROM DQB forms any other documents I provided even a 2nd opinion ROM weren't evaluated at all and they really screwed me over...

Good morning, How does one go about requesting their conditions be rated as permanent? I recently was medically retired (30% DoD PRDL and 100% VA non-permanent) but am interested in the protected status and benefits that come with P&T (for my family mostly). Where do I find what conditions...

So I am in the IDES process and recently received my C&P results back, which for my referred condition (migraine) is completely wrong. Results are: Does veteran have characteristic prostrating attacks of migraines - YES If yes, frequency - WITH LESS FREQUNT ATTACKS Does veteran have very...

My husband submitted a VARR on 16 May. Does it show when the VARR is sent back to the PEB on Vets.gov? Right now, he has a closed claim (original) and an open claim of the same conditions that I'm assuming is kept open until he leaves active duty. Also, just curious, for those who had submitted...

If I elect to do a PEB VARR does that prevent me from filing a NOD when I am officially retired? Am I better off just leaving retiring and filing a NOD? I am TDRL DOD 70% and 80% VA. I have one permanent condition that is 30% and the "unstable" condition is PTSD at 50%. I am thinking of...

Hi all. Sorry if this is a sort of silly question. I think I know the answer but I want to verify. If you request a VARR, and the VA accepts it and agrees to increase your percentage, does that mean your DOD percentage will automatically increase too for that referred condition? I did a VARR for...
