Good to know, thanks!

I wish you luck with the ratings! What VA center is your case going through??

*Update* My PEBLO gave me a copy of my medical records on a disk on September 22… And they were scanned in such poor quality that they can not be read -__- So now that I'm a week or two away from meeting with the VA (without seeing my full medical record and my PEBLO is no where to be found...

Wow, congrats on the speedy timeline and solid ratings! I wish you the best in retirement and future endeavors!

Good to know, thanks goldberg1! I think I have to wait on my PEBLO, even to hear from the VA, since I'm overseas :/

Right on, I appreciate the input! Well, good luck and I look forward to see how your process works out!

I see, thanks for the clarification. I've been on corticosteroids since 2011, but I've only recently started the weekly methotrexate/folic acid. Maybe about 3 months ago. My two ratable conditions on my NARSUM are also Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm surprised you went this long without...

Also, what's the possibility of being place TDLR at 60% for methotrexate? And can someone please explain the difference between TDLR and PDLR. I know one is temporary and one is permanent, but what exactly does that mean? If someone is TDLR are they still subject to the USMJ? Or are you...

So would it be an issue that my PCM only listed the unfit conditions (conditions that are causing the MEB) on my NARSUM? And just to be sure I'm understanding correctly; My PCM wrote my NARSUM right after I was advised he was initiating and MEB and he sent that up to AFPC.

What exactly are the C&P exams? All I know is that I'm attending TAPS next week as my PEBLO advised and soon after that I will be flying to the nearest VA (I'm at a remote assignment). Regardless of what I read, I'm truly 100% lost when it comes to this entire process haha. So any and all...

Nearly same exact boat here, goldberg1! Just found out today AFPC requested full MEB for P. and P.Arthirtis treated with Mtx and folic acid. Keep us updated!

Keep us updated! I'm a fellow sufferer of the P. along with psoriatic arthritis. Been taking Mtx and folic acid. Just went full MEB today.
