Administrative Separation Pending Approval from Naval Personnel Command

Long story short, I am getting medically separated and administratively for refusal for the Covid-19 vaccination. I am not here to debate that issue but solely for the issue at hand. I received notification that I will be medically separated (shoulder injury) on 29AUG22. The same day, I got my admin separation message, but it stated that my separation will be decided by the commander at Naval Personnel Command. It stated in the fine print that disposition of the case may take an excess of 180 days. It has been nearly two months since my messages came through. I know my case is unique, but anyone have any idea how long it takes for them to decide at Naval Personnel Command?

I know everyone on here is in a "hurry-up and wait" situation as well but I have been in the medical board process for nearly two years and the administration separation process for nearly one year. I am just trying to get my civilian life together. I have had to turn down some really good jobs due to the constant delays and the constant need of approval from certain commands.
 
I don’t know if this is technically what you’re asking but Your medical separation will take priority over an administrative sep, I was in the similar boat where I wasnt medically qualified to do my rating and did not want to force convert. But since I am in the PEB process the medical seperation took priority over admin.

That's what my admin stated but I am slowly approaching my medical separation date and there is no word on the approval. The thing that I tried to clear up with Admin was how can my medical discharge (29AUG22) override my administrative separation if the administrative separation decision might take an excess of 180 days? That decision will blow past my medical discharge date by months. I still haven't got orders for my medical separation yet and only know the date due to message traffic. I appreciate you responding btw.
 
I would contact the base's separation office (or just go over there and ask) about your situation if you have not (this may be the Admin you already have contacted). Since the same office probably processes orders for both medical and administrative separations, they could possibly give you the answer you are looking for. Since you have a medical separation date, you are probably in whichever system the Navy (sorry, I am Army, I don't know the name of Navy systems) uses to track separations.

I am a Navy guy. I appreciate the advice and I already tried that angle. They gave me the classic, "I don't know. You just need to sit tight some more." I have heard that line way too many times over the past two years, but I do understand that they can only do so much. It is just that my medical separation date is closing in, and they said that cannot let me go until final approval comes back.
 
I’m back! Grandson now on 15 months awaiting voluntary honorable discharge. Has gone up and down and back chain of command with no answers. MC said try TAD until papers come in. Had all signatures approving it,even letter from MH doctor firmly stating my grandson my would progress much better to be away from Coronado Naval Base and be home with family support and environment, signed and approved til CMC who claims he is better there. MC at home agreed to take him,legal approved it jag went and talked to him and my grandson got the shit for requesting it. Last update papers still at pers in TN since July 18,2022
ANY IDEAS before my grandson gets worse so next month 2 years in Navy Hurd at Buds training
