So i am in the process for seeing the doctor for shortness of breath but im already going through an MEB. If I get diagnosed with asthma or some other condition will that slow down my MEB?
Seeing doctor hold up MEB case

Contact your MSC immediately, if you get a new diagnosis. Have you been deployed to Southwest Asia?
I got a c and p exam for asthma at qtc but I havent gotten the diagnosis for asthma or anything like that. My doctor just made a comment about if I was diagnosed it might affect my MEB which im really hoping it doesnt because im almost done.
C&P exams rate asthma based on the outcome of the pulmonary function test and/or based on pulminary medications. If you were already had a PFT in a C&P exam, the results should not hold up your PEB outcome. If you deployed to the SWA theater, asthma is presumtively combat related.
Possibly along with other rare lung conditions in the near future.
VA will propose certain rare cancers be added to presumed service-connected list
I just really dont want my MEB to last any longer than it has to. Ive been waiting since September and Im really close to being done and honestly ill be pretty pissed if they try to slow things down more.
Most people want it to be over. When something is not right with the results of a PEB the probability of getting it straight through the BCMR is low.
