Default Re: Med Board for Asthma symptoms

Mystic,

Welcome! As for the asthma, unless there is another diagnosis that fits the condition better, you should be rated on the asthma criteria anyway (so long as it is unfitting).

Whether they board/rate the tumor will depend mainly on if it impacts your duties (seeing as how it is not malignant).

From the stats coming out on the pilot/program, you are probably better off going through them for rating. No one has addressed this yet, but I also believe that if you are unhappy with your rating, you can appeal through the Board of Veterans Appeals and ultimately through the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
