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...
If the doctor is saying that appointment was the medical decision point then it should be about four weeks for PEBLO. My delay was my psychiatrist wanted to give me 90 days on the medication to stabilize first. Then in the middle of the evaluation period she moved position so I had to work with...
Update. Met with Psychiatrist yesterday. After our conversation she said she was going to submit for a MEB but needs to wait until September 3rd to allow the full medication evaluation. She mentioned she wanted to make sure she could put into IDES that I a mentally fit to go through a board...
Well the reason I think it still be a MEB is this is the latest diagnosis in a long series of them which I didn’t state in the first post. First was major depression in 2011 and then major depression w/ anxiety and the conversation of Borderline Personality Disorder came up but not official...
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...
