Hey Mike! Thanks so much. I'm going to DM you.

Hey everyone, I medically retired last year and am looking at doing CRSC. I have a decent grasp as to how it works, but I'd love if I could get some assistance from someone much more familiar, especially with being able to prove things are simulation of combat related, which all of my injuries...

Provis, thank you for the awesome information/advice from you and Chaplain. Does this all still apply even for personality disorders? I've seen online that the VA rates these as 0% because they're "pre-existing, lifelong disorders." I understand MH is all lumped into one rating, but I'm...

Classic.

So around 2014 (over 8 years ago) I was slammed on my head by a much larger sparring partner during combatives. I was unconscious for about a minute and woke up with a few guys standing around me trying to wake me up. The instructor wasn't around, but the others in the class told me what...

So to be clear, the DoD will only look at the issue I was MEB'ed for? So if I am put into a MEB for MH, they won't even look at other issues even if they are potentially unfitting for duty? Also, say I do go through a MEB for MH issues. Will it affect me in gaining employment on the civilian...

Long story short, I've been reading this forum a lot and I believe when I go back to BH (it's been a while) they will suggest a MEB again. However, I also have some physical issues that will likely put me on a P3 profile in the future (likely some nervous system issues). Should I take the MEB...

Mentally, I'm done, and I've been done for years. I'm exhausted and I don't have it in me anymore, but I have several years left on my current ADSO. I have some physical issues that could lead to a MEB after a while, but I keep picturing myself walking into BH and just asking for their help to...

I agree with starting appointments now before I PCS next month. But you think I should tell people I want a MEB? I was under the impression that it should be more of a "well I tried everything" kind of action that you don't necessarily want. To be honest, I legitimately have many issues I will...

BLUF: I want to start a MEB, but I don't want to be "that guy" that shows up to his unit and immediately goes on a deadman profile and has appointments constantly. I want to start a MEB when I get to my new unit next month right away to avoid this. I have both physical and BH issues to cover...
