It looks like the wait may be close to an end!
My status changed to pending decision approval this morning.
This afternoon it changed to gathering of evidence! They are requesting separation documents!
I missed my PEBLO, she had just got off, so tomorrow morning I will be in her office!
I hope there is good news!

Indeed; hopefully, it's good news! :)

What is the 1800#? Is Hawaii under Seattle Region?

The region you are under is based on your branch of service. Army IDES cases go to Seattle while Navy, Marines, and Air Force cases go to Providence, Rhode Island.

I don't mind waiting for my ratings. But I get really aggravated when I see people get ratings before me, well only the ones that had their unfit memo sent after mine. I mean good for them but I feel like there should be some sort of line lol

The reason people may get their ratings back prior to you may be because they have less claimed conditions, more clear evidence to support their conditions, or maybe they are the lucky ones who cases are transfered to Providence, RI. At least none of you had to wait 166 days for something as simple as an unfit memo to be completed and sent to the VA. That set me back in the process a good bit. As you can see in my signature block my MEB was completed on 27 Mar 13 an forward to the AF IPEB and it wasn't until 10 Sep 13 that the VA got the unfit determination.

MY case is in Rhode Island and im active duty army!
 
Love seeing my dashboard estimate end date just keep going up and up and up lol
 
PEBLO told me ratings are:
60% Army
90% VA

Not sure if I like this. Waiting on 199 now to make a decision.
 
Good Morning Troops,

My case is also located in Seattle and I have been waiting for ratings since 10 Dec 2012. I have a very complicated case. Point being, my ebennies went from "Decision Approval," to "Gathering of Evidence," along with the entire screen highlighted in amber. The comment to the right stated development letter sent further evidence required. I got a letter in the mail stating they want my "Service Treatment Record." Apparently, this is needed before a decision could be made. I spoke to my PEBLO and he said there are ratings located in the notes. My MSC stated my prelims were done Oct 24th.The VA has yet to send over their findings. Does this sound weird to anyone? Usually ebennies will go from decision approval to gathering of evidence thus requesting seperation docs. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks guys hang tough out there.

Well, in the interim until receipt of DA Form 199, congratulations on the notification of your DoD and DoVA proposed ratings! :confused:

Very interesting, this does seem pretty weird, I'd call the hotline or do an IRIS inquiry.
 
My husband called the VA for the first time today. His Pueblo and AKO had told him that his status was at the VA ratings. So he decided to call this morning. The lady on the phone said, "It is in the stage after gathering of evidence." Then she said, "I cannot give you any updated information until after it has been 265 days!" WTH? What in the world is she talking about? Help!
 
I am getting rated for two common issues. Should not take this long. Stryker I think they just tell you that so you don't call them. I say we all call everyday. Or all organize and show them that were pissed.

Call again and see if someone else will answer your question, it's like playing the lottery with someone who'll answer or not

Next question,
