I'm feeling very upset and invalidated. For backstory I've been an E4 in the Air Force and been in for 6 years. My MST was in 2021 and I did an unrestricted report. The QTC psychiatrist had me go into detail and my trauma and how it affects me today. A couple weeks later I looked at the document...

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the long post but this is very important to every veteran and their families and it's way past time for the VA to stop screwing veterans over on this. We are not asking for donations, only your signature to show support to our senators. Thanks in advance! Petition Link...

Hey everyone. First post on this platform and I’m looking for some guidance and advice. My PA told me last week that if my back problems do not get better after the the referral to occupational therapy he will have to initiate an MEB. I currently have 10 years in the army and have had a great...

Have a question for some of you folks on here that are past or rather recently completed the IDES C&P exams at the VA. Is there a new way of conducting ROM tests? My examiner did it “hands on” and via line of sight. Is this the norm for those of you that have gone through it recently? I was...

Good morning Ladies and Gents, Recently completed my C&P exams and have all the boxes checked that is needed for good ratings, however within the VA notes the examiner it states Less likely than not (though it didn't exist prior to service, the disease I currently have hasn't been related to...

Hello all, I recently had my C&P for a TBI and I want to stay proactive and be prepared in case I do not agree with my NARSUM. My question is do migraines get added to the TBI percentage rating or do migraines get rated separately...

I just received my C&P exam results. Despite their being numerous issues with the wrong extremity noted, incorrect ROMs, etc..., I am wondering if the VA uses the ROM measurements from the initial measurements, after repetitive use measurements, or the flare-up measurements? Anyone know? TIA

Ok, so did me PSO C&P this past Mon, and did my PHY C&P this morning. During this morning's exam, as she was going through the various statements by doctors, profiles, etc, she noted that a military doctor at BAMC gave me a EMG that came back normal, which contradicted my primary Neurologists'...

I was told I may get Medically retired do to my MEB being 2 different diagnoses but they took one diagnose off and just Med boarding me for Bipolar II disorder. So now may get medically separated but its still possible that i get medically retired. What should I expect? I finished both my C&P...

Colleagues - -My MEB conditions are: Low Back Pain, Lumbar Spondylosis, and Degenerative Disk Disease. Steroid injections for years, herniated discs, etc etc. -I went to a CP a few weeks ago. No words to describe it - complaint filed with QTC. -Out of the blue, QTC calls me with a new CP exam...

I am getting an MEB for my left shoulder which I have had two surgeries on. The exact diagnosis on my 3947 is Acromioclavicular Arthritis, Left Shoulder (diagnosed by the QTC/VA Medical DBQ Examiner as Acromioclavicular Osteoarthritis and Multiple Surgical Procedures including Left Distal...

I just received a phone call that I am being scheduled for a 2nd VA C&P Exam on February 22nd. Just 3 weeks ago I was re-evaluated for the 1st time by the Air Force since I was placed on TDRL. The Doctor told me their recommendation and that it was to remain at 100%, permanent retirement and...

Hey guys, Just wanted to get on here and share my story so that others may prevent themselves from entering the same situation. Back in March of 2013 I injured myself PTing on base (Severe high ankle sprain). I reported the the Naval hospital where they gave me an injection of ibuprofen and...

I just had a quick question. A little back story first to help understand it better. I am being med board from the Marine Corps and I had my C&P exam in mid March. Everything was moving smoothly up until this point. I had 3 different C&P exams with the last one being Completed on March 22. My...

I've had my reports for a while, and I have a ton of questions. I've posted in this forum twice with no response, and I'm really just needing some help. I can provide any information that may be needed.

Quick question. Does the NARSUM Doctor not develop the mental health portion? He said that he doesn't know about my mental health issues. Also, does the mental health handle TBI? For my QTC's, mental health covered my anxiety and TBI. Would they be responsible for that part of the NARSUM?

I submitted an intent to file last September before I got the ball rolling for my claim. In the last 4 months, I was finally submitted to the IDES process for my condition. It will be disqualifying and I do have an LOD for the condition. I was scheduled for 1 C&P exam this Friday, however, I...
