Ebenefits

I looked into Ebenefits today and my claim says prepping for decision. I'm going through the IDES process now and my packet is currently at the IPED stage. I have read a few of you alls post on here, and my package does not state IDES on it. Can anyone give me some insight on what could be going on?
 
Go to the disabilities tab and look to see if it lists all your claimed conditions. These are the ones that the VA MSC input for you, they should trigger your C and P exams. Eventually it should move to development letter sent.

Once the file has been sent from the PEB to the VA they will open an additional claim. This is what I understand should happen. Some results may vary. The way IDES is suppose to work is that as soon as your MEB starts the VA begins their portion independent of what DOD is doing so that once it gets to PEB the majority of their work is done and there is no delay in a separation if that is what is needed. Hence the term Joint DOD VA IDES claim, I have also seen it called a DOVA.

Integrated Disability Evaluation System

The "Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) Examination" is used to determine a Servicemember's fitness for duty. The Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) worked together to make disability evaluation seamless, simple, fast and fair.
