Can anyone tell me how what they believe my outcome will be at the MEB/PEB on the DoD side? I think I know how the VA will turn out.
1. Army reservist. Being boarded for migraines w/ aura.
2. C&P exam done: service aggravated and 3x's a month prostrating. " Frequently missing work or going home early, 3-5 times a month out of work at least 1/2 a day. (i expect 30-50% VA)
3. Permanent profiled and referred to the MEB for migraines by MEDCOM. IDRM completed.
4. My civilian neurologist confirms/diagnosed me with migraines, more medication, nothing works. I've been seeing her for over 1 year. (no recommendations for board/ i never asked.)
5. DA FORM 7809 was completed by primary care doctor. She recommends that I do not meet retention standards for migraines.
6. Commander's statement says" The unpredictable and incapacitating episodes resulting from his chronic migraines significantly disrupt his ability to consistently attend activities, meetings, or work and deploy, and often require him to miss work, affecting his duty performance in both in-garrison and austere settings."
[x] Soldier is unable to perform any significant military tasks or duties because of their medical condition(s); unable to contribute to the unit's mission.
[no] Can the service member be assigned against a deployable billet?
[no] Do you believe the service member could perform his/her duties in an OCONUS deployed environment without restrictions, limitations, or work-arounds?
AR40-501, 3-31 -Neurological g. Migraine, tension, or cluster headaches. When manifested by incapacitating attacks that interfere with duty or social activities three or more days per month. All such Soldiers will be referred to a neurologist, who will ascertain the cause of the headaches. The neurologist will determine whether prophylactic therapy (up to 6 months) or referral to the DES is warranted. If the headaches are not adequately controlled at the end of the 6 months, the Soldier will be referred to the DES. If the neurologist feels the Soldier is unlikely to respond to therapy, the Soldier can be referred directly to the DES.
