Congratulations, when did the VA get your claim?
Seattle Regional VA Timelines:
- Thread starter SGT Nova
- Start date
- Status
Congratulations, indeed!
As such, enjoy your forthcoming military disability retirement to include your post-military endeavors!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."
Best Wishes!
Wonderful! If you need some insight what to do after signing the 199 see my link in my signature block. If you need any clarification shoot me a PM.
alright can someone please help!?!? I know that there is a certain "system" that the PEBLOs and MSCs can look at to see information about your packet at the VA. I remember it being discussed on this forum a few weeks ago and also my PEBLO screwed up by logging in when I was on the phone with her a few weeks. The reason why I say she screwed up is because today she told me that all she can see is what the PEB updates... LIAR... Now I'm pretty pissed and am about to start knocking on the door of my DCO en route to my CG because of this. I need my ducks in a row and this is the first one, so does any one know the name or the website at the va.gov that is available to PEBLOs, MSCs, and VSOs?
I think the system is called Veterans Tracking Application (VTA).
That's it! Thank you!!!
guys just a warning have a friend who has been med boarding with me bt in the system just a lil bit longer. he had filled out everythin got his rating was just waiting to get his final orders and clearing date. he called his peblo at least once a week and nothing. Ttoday he found out his paperwork was sent to his peblo on the 27th of september and peblo just had not gotten it to him. It has really messed up a lot of things for him. Just a warning!!!!!!!!!
precisely the reason why i'm about to utilize my chain of command. If she's lying about this what else is she lying about???????
All PEBLO's are not evil. They have a lot of pressure and stress associated with their clients (us).
But I digress: Some are, and lazy to boot. [of course, VA is evil, everybody know that]
Yesterday, I spoke with my PEBLO after I spoke with DAV Rep who also works for state VA. DAV Rep told me to call him because my ratings were supposedly done. It was a big mess - he was mad, and that made me mad. But I believe him when he said that there was nothing out there. About an hour after we hung up, he called me back. He told me that he had talked to his supervisor, called his POC at VA and had checked everything, nothing there to be had. The rating were not done yet, but that I was tracking to be done very soon according to list of clients. And then he apologized for being short in the previous conversation, he apologized for VA, and told me that he was sorry, that I'd just have to keep waiting.
In and of the whole system and situation, there has not been even one solid thing that I can absolutely believe or count on except for what my PEBLO told me in the beginning: It's going to take several months, nobody knows how long, when it's done, it's done. You'll just have to wait.
From the beginning, on my very first MEB appointment, April 1st 2013, my doctor called in sick and I had to make another appointment, had to wait 15 days for the next appointment.
So, I wait. I keep wishing I was fishing.
VA has had my claim 162 days, my unfit memo was 128 days ago.
The last VA rep I talked to, I asked him how I would put an age to my claim and compare it to to average days it takes to rate/process a claim. He told me that the age of a claim goes by date it was received by VA, not the Unfit Memo. He was very familiar with the IDES process, but again, couldn't tell me what the hold up is, how many were in front of me, nothing.
So, we all wait.
If anybody out there finds a way to see where we are in line, please share. It would take so much stress off of us! Light at the end of the tunnel equals hope and gives us a timeline, something we can include in our after-military life plans.
Hmm. If you had 1,000,000 pennies and a big open area, how hard would it be to categorize by date, condition, and type?
It'd be a chore, but it could be done fairly easily and it'd be an arduous process. With 100 helpers, I could do it in a day.
After it's done, the oldest pennies go away and more are added, categorized, and the pennies keep moving toward the front of the line, little more, every day. If you were one of these pennies, any of them, you could see how many are in front of you, you could make a pretty good estimate on how long it would take to make it to the head of the line, just like at the bank or drawing a number to get a haircut. VA does this with us. They know where we are, they track us. But they will not tell us because....they are evil. They don't play fair. RHIP, easy ones first, mistakes where newer claims get rated before older ones (not so bad), and they don't care about our stress of waiting. I'd rather get an estimated date and it be off by a week or two than nothing.

Monday Morning Workload Report from Seattle just posted: Average dropped from 150.5 days to 150.3 to process a claim.

Monday morning report looks like shit! Says Seattle (from my calculation) only did 75 or so claims last week. WTF! Maybe we should apply for a job there.
I've been trying to download the report. Their site works about as well as healthcare.gov
It opened fine for me Mo
DON'T THEY HAVE LIKE 24,000 COMP CLAIMS? AND THEY ONLY DID 75? BRB, GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER LOOK...
Didn't see those numbers. Concerning the new aggregate and the old aggregate as separate spreadsheets, they're dated the same, shouldn't the numbers match? I think I have a pretty good handle on what I'm reading; I can't find a 75 case difference. All the data is different from one to the other. Billy, little help where the 75 came from? Hmmm another typical smoke and mirrors report from VA. Just look at the numbers from one tab and then the other and compare a few.

I looked at last Mondays vs. This Mondays. Just took the total claims from last Monday and subtracted this Mondays.... I got 70 something. 
I'll give you that one. Any more and my brain will get too mushy and won't heal up enough tonight for functionality tomorrow. Roger, out. It's Robot Chicken and Squidbillies Time.
