I went it to talk to my PEBLO about my NARSUM prior to it being submitted to the local MEB and was told that if I wanted to request an IMR I had to do it at that point. Turns out that's incorrect... I thought something was off but I wasn't able to find the relevant portion of the regs until over...

Alright, this is an update for my latest encounters with the medical group. Been going over this with the awesome help of ceilingfan who's given me what I think is some good advice but I'd like to get others read on the situation. First off - lets talk about the NARSUM A sanitized version of...

I've been removed from my workcenter and am now doing busywork that is most certainly not something that my career field does. I've been thinking about trying to get SSDI for a while now and am now looking to get the process started. Looking through some of the stats for denials and how high...

The past couple days have been eventful for me. First off I get a chance to help re-write my commanders letter, secondly and more importantly IMHO my great PEBLO gave me a copy of my post-C&P NARSUM prior to it being seen by the board. Problem is... It's all sorts of confusing to me. It looks...

Howdy guys - as my MEB is moving forward and opportuinity to have my Commanders letter re-written has presented itself. I've drafted a copy and would like to get some folks that have been around the block with this stuff to take a look at it and give me any feedback you have. I can't post it...

First of all I want to say that several of you have provided valuable feedback for me in my first thread about my Anxiety/PTST/Adjustment Disorder/Whatever they want to call it today. Thank you very much for the information and support you've shown, it's been greatly helpful. I recently did my...

Wish me luck all! Any last words of advice? (Other than stop upon pain - got that one down)

So I just had my TBI C&P and I left there really confused. I went into it knowing that the VA would be looking hard at this due to a motobike wreck I was in a few years ago but I wasn't really expecting this. I left feeling very confused and feeling like there may actually be something wrong...

Well folks this is it. About 12 hours from now I have my MH C&P exam. It's almost 1am and despite the fact I took a sleeping pill I'm still WIDE awake. Freaking out over what will come out of tomorrow. Any last minute tips for me?

Hey all - going to be spending a goodly amount of time this month at the VA in Sacramento. Anyone have good tips on what hotels might be good to get if I'm allowed to pick for myself?

I know that many of us are in the middle of stressful situations but IMHO regardless of our situation we all do have a lot to be grateful for. I'm grateful for an amazing PCM who has helped me keep my cool through the situation I'm going through and a new OIC who is understanding of my...

Alright - now that I've gotten past the "Review in lieu of" (RILO) MEB and been formally referred to IDES I figure I'll start a timeline from this point. #1 16NOV12 - Filled out VBA-21-0819 and turned into PEBLO. Awaiting date for IDES inbrief from my PEBLO.

I'm currently going through the MEB on the base level. It's VERY informal - I haven't had to sign any paperwork or had any sort of a inbrief with my PEBLO. To this point the only thing that is currently listed as "Potentially Unfitting" is my back. I have some mental health issues that I'm...

I'm looking into trying to find a good psychiatrist who is willing to provide online care - anyone have a provider that you know of/would recommend? Looking to get a second opinion from someone outside the military on a recurring basis if possible.

A couple years ago my career field changed to flight status, which requires a flight physical to remain in the job. I completed the physical but the records were lost so the AF has no record of it happening. I was scheduled for my flight physical however it was cancelled until after the...

While home on leave I recently sought mental health care outside the military to get a second opinion on some issues I'm dealing with. The psychiatrist diagnosed me with PTSD. Upon my return I spoke to my military psychiatrist who disagreed with the evaluation I got from the civilian and...

My NARSUM is in the process of being re-written. One of the conditions listed is "Anxiety with depressive mood" - I feel that since the anxiety is causing me significant issues in the workplace and at home that it qualifies as a boardable condition. I sent my PCM an email about this and he sent...

Just got back from having my ROM test for the MEB NARSUM. Guy doing the exam tried to convince me to push through the pain at first but I made it clear that I was doing what I could and he backed off pretty quickly. Didn't get the full results but on the post-it he was writing everything down on...

Hey guys - I just got ahold of a copy of my NARSUM and I'd like to have some feedback from ya'll on it if possible. It seems like here overseas I have to meet a "Local MEB" which will make a decision of Return to duty/Refer to IDES, anyone ever seen anything like that? Seems a bit off to me as...

So I'm in the early process of facing a med board. Have a few different things going on that the VA may rate me for but the big one at the moment that the Air Force is looking at is Degenerative Disk Disease\Back pain. T5-T6 if I remember correctly. My PCM has sent me a NARSUM asking me to...
