Welcome to the PEB Forum!
The official published timeline for Active Component (AC) military personnel within the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process is 295 days, but it's potentially delayed beyond the aforementioned duration due to the massive amounts of backlogged DoVA disability claims.
Nonetheless, never default acceptance to potential injustice while championing for well-earned and well-deserve military disability compensation in the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process to include future military healthcare benefits after separation/retirement!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."
Best Wishes!

11 yrs AGR / 6 yrs guard in the begining. Holy crap! I hope not, I am AGR probably going to WTU. I already have 14 months of diagnosis, tests and treatment for adult onset uncontrolled epilepsy. And years of diagnosis and treatment for cluster headaches which are chronic now. I'm praying to hit the 200 day or less mark so I can try and focus on quality of life cause I've had a real bad year and want to be done with it all.... Patience...zen like patience.......
