Timeline and C&P exams

[nimbus3000t]

Starting a new thread to talk about the VA requesting more C&P exams. Has anyone had to do this? And for anyone going through the MEB now, how far out are your appointments being scheduled? I REALLY hope this doesn't add more than a few weeks to my timeline. Still waiting for the appointments to be scheduled. But they are for 2 of my 3 referred conditions so it may affect my DoD side timeline for those ratings as well.

I’m at 68 days since being found unfit and I’m wondering if this is a decent time to attempt to reach out to someone, as well.

Have you looked into the "Leave Awaiting Orders" ? AR 600-8-10 Chapter 6-1

6–1. Leave awaiting orders as a result of disability proceedings a. Soldiers awaiting results of disability separation proceedings (see AR 635–40) may request to be ordered home on PCS leave only if the Soldier’s case meets these criteria— (1) The informal or formal Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) determined the Soldier unfit, and the PEB adjudication was not conditional pending review of a line of duty determination. (2) The Soldier concurred with the PEB determinations, is not requesting reconsideration of VA ratings, and is not requesting continuation on active duty or in active Reserve status.

Apparently you can PCS home while waiting for your ratings, if you qualify. Just haven't found anyone who successfully done it yet.
