I guess I'm doing this because this website has been helpful, and am looking for some solidarity with anyone from Hawaii, or a similar timeline.

Background: April 16, 2014 - Tore my ACL/Meniscus (Right) at MOS school. Senior enlisted advisor made me run on it and do MCMAP. Worst pain of my life. Was sent to my current duty station where I had FOUR failed knee surgeries at Tripler Army Medical Center. All of them my right knee.

1st surgery - Oct. 20 2014 (ACL/meniscus allograft) right knee

After this, my knee was still very unstable. Not torn, but thought to be loose.

2nd surgery - April 20, 2015 (ACL revision allograft) right knee

My surgeon PCS's and am assigned a new one. He tells me the first surgeon basically messed the first two up and drilled a hole (tunnel) that was too big. My ACL was not secured.

3rd surgery - Oct. 20, 2015 (Bone graft. Also took ACL out of my leg.) right knee

After they thought the bone graft healed, it was time to put an ACL back in my leg.

4th Surgery - Feb. 2, 2016(ACL hamstring graft) right knee

The fourth surgery failed, and my knee, still, is in much pain and is very unstable. My ROM is not terrible, I believe 0-125.

So obviously this was my referring condition. Because of my knee, limping for years and stress, these are also affected: scarring, loss of feeling in calf, lower back, my hip, my ankle, my other knee, anxiety, depression and tinnitus.

So sorry about you surgeries. Sounds like you case has been complicated. Have they done anything for the depression and anxiety?
 
July 25 - Received Narsum from PEBLO. Asked to make a minor change.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It has been rough trying to keep my spirits high, giving a shit about work, and dealing with all of this. Again, thanks.

As for treatment: I have been seeing a therapist with MCCS for about a year and a couple of months. I claimed it, and when I saw the psychologist at QTC, concurred and diagnosed me with Major Depressive and GAD. I am on meds, as well.
 
August 11 - package sent to MEB
 
August 17 - Package accepted by PEB. Previous post should be PEB, not MEB.

Yeah I've read enough on this forum, and that's the way it seems for DepNav. I guess we just have to be patient. Might as well try to do our jobs to the best of our abilities and put some money into savings. I'll continue to post with each update!

Ebenefits completion Date Changes from Dec. 2016 - July 2017 to 01/24/2017 - 08/08/2017
 
Called VA. Said they received my package from PEB on Aug 30. Verified with PEBLO, as well, and I have been found unfit.
 
Activity on Ebenefits. Status changed from gathering of evidence to pending decision approval. Completion date changed from 01/24/2017 - 08/08/2017 to 01/10/2017 - 04/02/2017
 
Sept. 26, 2016 - Decision notification letter sent. Now gathering of evidence
 
October 11 - received proposed VA ratings
 
October 31 - Second claim goes "pending decision approval" and decision letter sent
 
So I notice in your timeline we have the same notification. The one you have is the one I had a little more than a month ago, indicating that the VA is reviewing your ratings. The one I have is post VA, which I never heard of. I literally just called my PEBLO and she said that it means the DoD is done with my official ratings and I should be receiving them soon.
 
Well that's good news Brother! Glad yours is moving forward. By the way, how did you get your proposed ratings before officially signing?
 
Yep!

So if you call the VA at 18008271000, it will ask you two say "in one or two words" as to why you are calling. Say status tracking. It will then direct you to a representative. Tell them your situation, that is, that you believe them to be done. She will confirm and tell you to call back in 10 BUISINESS days for them to fax it to you.

Ask whether or not they sent it to the PEB (which they should have). But you should be on the home stretch!
