Jason Was on drill status May when shoulder injury happened OSA wasn't diagnosed until October. Made the same argument at the impartial review that the rotator cuff injury forced me to sleep on my back and worsened my Sleep Apnea. Only difference is that on this claim had my sleep doc write a...

8 months ago I requested a impartial review during my MEB process. I was concerned that sleep Apnea wasn't being addressed. I claimed that it was secondary to my LOD shoulder injury that required me to sleep on my back. The Dr basically told me I was fat and didn't add it to my MEB package. I...

24 Sep 2014 I was declared un-fit for duty by the USAF. Have been receiving INCAP as fit for military duty(even though I have been unable to do my job) but not fit for my Federal Tech job (exact same job). The INCAP have been receiving as fit is around 50% of what the un-fit INCAP is. DOS is...

Yes, I do agree with other findings and ratings on them but 20% for rotator cuff is the only unfit condition.

Thanks very much. I have a call in to speak to USAF legal counsel. Hopefully he will guide me through that process.

11 years USAF 11 years Air National Guard VA 60% DOD 20% shoulder unfit Not satisfied with the 20% rating. My C&P examiner did not use a Goniometer to measure ROM. I ask for a impartial review because I didn't agree with the 90 degree ROM. The impartial review Doctor stated that he felt...

Got my Rating decision back today.

Well the MEB package is gone. Impartial review Dr screwed me. He verbally told me that he would add sleep apnea, depression to my VA FORM 21-0819 and he did but didn't mention that he would write a NARSUM stating weight was the cause of Sleep Apnea, shoulder and spine conditions. Also the...

Impartial review 16 June 14

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Believe I found the info in AFI 36-2910. For the most part my C&P exam was favorable with one exception. ROM for my left shoulder, abduction was eyeballed and the examiner recorded 90 degrees abduction ends 90 degrees painful motion begins...

I received my MEB package first of the week. C&P exam identified Depression/ Chronic pain syndrome and directly linked it to my left shoulder injury (the condition that I am being boarded for). This injury happened June 2012 and I have been in significant pan over the last 2 years. Have been on...
