Default Re: somatoform disorder NOS

velez169,

Welcome and good to have you!

You sound like a good candidate for a fit finding and return to duty. In order to be found fit, your condition must be found to not unreasonably interfere with performance of your duties. Do you have any periods of LIMDU? Any limitations whatsoever in performance of your duties? If you chain of command supports you and the Narrative summary is supportive, you should not have a problem getting a fit finding. Make sure you review the MEB Report and disagree with any inaccuracies.

If you are found unfit, you will be rated on the General Schedule for Rating Mental Disorders, which rates on degree of functional occupational and social impairment. So, the rating will depend as well on how your condition impacts you.

Best of luck and let us know any questions!
