Hi, so I’m on here trying to find out information about post PEB/FPEB timelines as we have gone through that process and failed. We received formal notice that my husband should be separated from service;
“1. Under the provisions of AR 635-40, paragraph 4-27 (7) d (1), the Physical Evaluation Board has determined that SGT *** is physically unfit and will be transferred to the Retired Reserve. Pursuant to the authority contained in 10 USC 1209, the Soldier is entitled to apply for retirement benefits upon reaching age sixty.
2. Soldiers will be processed for discharge from their prospective component headquarters with transfer to the Retired Reserves. The effective date of the orders will be no later than 30 days from the date of this memorandum.
3. A copy of the order transferring the Soldier to the retired reserve must be provided to this Agency not later than 30 days from the issuance of this memorandum. Transfer orders should be sent to the USAPDA Retirements and Separations customer service box at the email listed below.”
The memorandum was dated 24th June this year. As of today we have received no notice of separation, no DD214, and no communication from anyone in the army (he has tried calling but everyone says it’s not their responsibility and just doesn’t help. We live over two hours away from the nearest unit, and so far anyone not related to his unit - over 18 hours away - is uninterested in assisting) reference his separation.
His VA claim is currently pending having gone to “Evidence gathering, review, and decision” on the 20th - even though the initial claim was opened in June of last year.
Can anyone give me guidance on how long this will take, or even what on earth is happening?
We are in contract to buy a house and can’t close until we have an updated DD214 and this could lose us our home, and potentially leave us without a place to live. I am getting just a little bit stressed as I was working under the assumption (I know assume and all that….) that the 30 days was official and binding.
