He never received a call back. He continued to check with his PEBLO and never received a phone call back. He finally got a phone call last week for an appointment today so he should find out more information today. I'm hoping that this isn't appointment to find out if he's fit or unfit.

I had never heard of it before in all of my research but this is what my husband is being told. It's the last little bit of exam left and then he should be done with exams. I'm going to have him contact his PEBLO to make sure this is what this "exam" is supposed to be for. Thanks for your input!

My husband was called about a week ago and informed that he would be receiving another phone call to schedule his final C&P exam for mental health via video conference. Has anyone else done this? If so, how can someone make a good judgement on whether or not he has mental health issues?

We had thought of getting an outside opinion but until last week he wasn't aware that the two BH docs hadn't put PTSD into the system for him. The doc that diagnosed it even showed my husband the paperwork where he wrote it down. Of course I told my husband to obtain a copy but he said the doc...

Wow, it's unbelievable to me how many military men and women I see going through the same thing as my husband seems to be right now. It's very sad!

Thanks for the information. He's put down PTSD on a form that had to fill out at a VA briefing. He has been seen at BH since Feb. of this year. He refused to attend the PTSD group settings because he has very hard time talking about anything and told me that one of BH's Docs said he didn't have...

Ok, can the PTSD be added if the behavioral health doctor he normally sees officially puts in his medical records after the C&P exams are done? I know the NARSUM can take up to a month or more to be done so I'm wondering if there would be time to present that or if there would have to be an appeal?

I just hope that it works out because he contacted his doctor and I'm not sure what will happen now. I want him to continue to get treatment. They are calling what he has anxiety disorder and mild depression when the doctor looked him straight in the face two months ago and told him that he has...

He was seen yesterday for the OTC C&P exam for physical problems. So I guess you would say he's going through his VA exams and he has two more coming up. I just don't want to see him ending up with the short end of the stick if you know what I mean.

My husband is currently going through the MEB and has been told he has PTSD and has been put on medication for it. His PEBLO stated that she can not locate PTSD in his records but told him to include it as a problem he is claiming. He contacted his Behavioral Health Doctor and was told that he...

My husband is currently active duty Army. He's been referred to the MEB and received his P3 on October 19, 2012. He is meeting with PEBLO for the first time tomorrow morning. Is there anything that he needs to ask or be prepared for ahead of time? Also, what is the next step after he meeting...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! Great advice, I will make sure to forward this information to my husband as he and I are in the beginning stages of learning all the in's and out's.
