Okay so it's been a minute since I posted but I am going through a higher level review informal conference. I was rated at 90% total. The main thing I feel is under rated out of everything is the Bipolar II rating of 50%. I feel this is lower rated than it should be because I know for a fact...

So finally have an update on everything adding time line here and in signature. If possible any advice or tips for what is next would be appreciated. 2024 April 8-Command Directed Mental Health Assessment May 1-Confirmed BPII Disorder start treatment Nov 22nd-Referral to IDES Dec 17th-contacted...

Finally an update. BH submitted referral approximately Nov 22nd, 2024. IDES Representative contacted me to schedule initial PEBLO/Legal brief today, Dec. 17th, 2024, for Dec 31st. Taking some leave so couldn't make the earlier appointment.

My real concern now is pay. What is unfortunate in my situation is I’ve done both active and reserve time since 2005. I’ve had no breaks in service but my Active Service years only total around 9yrs 5 months as of today and am a SSG. Unfortunately the past 3 years they have never reach my OML...

Update: had medication intake with psychiatric nurse practitioner. Prescribed Lamotrigine and confirmed BPII diagnosis. Have follow up in 2 weeks for medication check. Issued a 90 day non deployable profile. She said she needs to check medical history and have follow on interviews before she can...

So was told last Thursday by the psychologist who did the evaluation that he would have the information to my commander in one or two days. My understanding is that a BPII diagnosis at minimum would be a temporary profile. However checking MEDPROs I’m seeing nothing. Went to ask in person for an...

Thank you that does help. My appointment for my treatment plan is on the 1st of May but was informed that it would likely be a mood stabilizer of some type and maybe and anti depressant. I’ll keep updating my process so it can be helpful to others

BLUF: Command directed BH eval gave diagnosis of Bipolar Type II couple days ago, looking for some assistance on way ahead and what to expect. I have browsed the forums which have helped answer some questions but am anxious about what the future is going to be like. I had been having a lot of...
