I wish I could help more here but I just went straight to a lawyer as the process is much more difficult/drawn out than applying for VA benefits. Also for mental health issues. Basically sent them everything you mentioned above so we'll see how that goes. Applied in August 2021 and am still...

I got the number from a friend but have gone to the flight medicine desk at my clinic and asked for them and they came out. They usually don’t advertise their number/contact anywhere and in some cases it’s actually an additional duty for them.

My mental health provider was the one referring me so I went through them in the beginning (so in your case it will be your PCM). Your stuff will basically go through a local board first to see if you need an IRILO (where your stuff gets sent to AFPC to see if full MEB is required). This is the...

Any update? Wondering what your result is as I’m also being MEB’d for bipolar

19 Jan 2021 – All exams uploaded to TOL, exams listed as “completed” on QTC website 20 Jan 2021 – Exams released to PEBLO/VA, awaiting local MEB 9 Feb 2021 – NARSUM addendum complete, AF 618 signed and referred to IPEB

Should mainly be getting your DOD rating and proposed VA rating (I’m assuming you were deemed unfit of course). Just remember you have a few days to consult with the Office of Airman’s Council if you want to explore filing a VARR or appealing to the FPEB if you disagree with the disposition or...

If you have exhausted all treatment options you’ll have to talk to your PCM about initiating one, especially since your migraines appear to be chronic and are causing frequent absences from work which make them potentially disqualifying for continued service. Eventually if not returned to duty...

This part took the longest for me too, mostly because I didn't know how it was supposed to work at the beginning and people were dragging their feet, but once the PEBLO has the NARSUM and CIS things started moving along. I actually ended up just finding a blank CIS and literally filled it out...

25 Aug 2021 – Code 37 applied, pending MEB 30 Sep 2021 – Reached out to PEBLO since no one has contacted me, learned they were waiting to receive NARSUM and CIS 30 Sep 2021 – Sent draft CIS to CC for review/signature 4 Oct 2021 – CIS signed by CC (do not retain), forwarded to PEBLO 6 Oct 2021 –...

Talk to your leadership about a possible non-rated period. AFI 36-2406 para. 1.4.11. Otherwise if you don’t meet that requirement you can still have an EPR, doesn’t necessarily mean you will be marked down. I was basically gone the entire year and still met standards.

Definitely doesn't sound normal, are you on meds for it? hospitalized? It was made pretty clear to me what effect each action (diagnosis, meds, treatment progression etc.) might have on retention/MEB. I also did my research too such as looking at the medical standards directory and the various...
