Throughout the entire medboard process, PEBLO is the tower. Take all directions from the tower. All of them.

Simply put, PEBLO is going to be far more knowledgeable about your SPECIFIC case than anyone on RP will be.

It depends on if you are healed as much as they can heal you. I have seen it done in a few months, sometimes in 24 months.

Do you know how to say thank you to the people trying to help you?

The NARSUM is a summary of your condition. It is the first of may steps in the IDES process. Your NARSUM will be submitted to the MED where medical review will determine if you are fit to continue military service. The total proess will take at least 180 days per Army Directive 2021-05 (but there are multiple factors that influence the timeline) see
https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN31950-ARMY_DIR_2021-05-000-WEB-1.pdf
also reference AR 635-40. Your PEBLO is managing/tracking your case and will let you know. If you don't appeal it could be 6 months, if you do appeal(s) could be closer to a year.
*Timeline is not current on this chart, but steps are the same.

The whole process takes about six months. The VA portion takes as long as it takes for the VA to do their thing. There is no specific time.

You need to start doing things like taps already. Med Boards can take 6 months or longer. It's better to start getting as much done as you can early so it isn't a mad dash at the end.

You have to have orders before you can out process. When the system decides they can do no more healing for you, then and only then will they see about discharge orders.
