Remedial requested med records but there are none

The status with DodMERB was put in on 1/21. We haven't received an actual notification letter in the mail yet. I was waiting for that. Is that unnecessary? Counting Friday, Saturday and today, that was only 3 business days for a letter to be written and mailed. DS has a less than one page letter drafted now. It's probably too long.

tjb, I would not wait for official snail mail if you see the info on his portal. That could take many weeks. In fact, my DD was qualified way back in September and her portal was changed pretty soon after that (about 2 weeks). You'll never guess what she received in the mail TODAY; an official letter from DoDMERB saying that she is medically qualified, (4 months later). If I remember correctly, there is information on where to send remedial paperwork on the website. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
 
UPDATE: The overnight envelope was signed for last week at 9:30am on 2/3. Nothing has changed on the DoDMERB status page. I thought it might at least reflect that the remedial answer letter had been received. Should we give it some more time before calling?
 
There is no harm in calling simply to confirm that it has definitely been received in. You will then most likely get the standard answer..."it can take up to 30 days to render a decision."
 
Portal is updated now with these messages. What the heck does this mean?

10-FEB-16 Date letter sent - DD2368: Status Letter
10-FEB-16 Date exam reviewed
10-FEB-16 Date letter sent - DD2368: Status Letter R220.00

Just one more idea. You might reach out to CAPT/Dr. Glenn Merchant. He is a former DoDMERB director and Navy physician. He is now a consultant for cadets and mids.

Thank-you so much for posting this link - I went to the website and sent a communication about my DS's medical issue and CAPT/Dr. Glenn Merchant was calling me within minutes of me hitting the send button! He is a wonderful, kind and very resourceful gentleman.
