    How does VA differ from DoD ratings?

    I understand that the DoD adopts the VA ratings for each unfitting condition, but just am wondering if the same combining rules apply for the DoD. Example- My 4 conditions that did not meet standards were: Ankylosing Spondylitis, Left Sacroillitis, Right Sacroillitis, and Lumbar DDD. The VA...

    Humira

    Yes, found unfit for use of Humira to treat Ankylosing Spondylitis. Waiting for DA199 currently but was found unfit 8 March. Search Humira and you’ll see lots of posts about people’s stories about going through IDES due to Humira. 99% chance you’ll be found unfit if your MOS deploys.

    VA Claims closed but need more QTC medical opinion?

    So my claims on VA.gov changed to closed on 22 March but I received an email saying I needed more QTC exams. (VA and QTC says it’s just documentation review/medical opinion). The opinions are on non-referred conditions. My MSC told me last week my proposed VA rating and VA hotline says they...

    I believe they are considered proposed because you have opportunity for a VARR, and they won’t be official until you sign DA199/exit the Army.

    Does VA use NARSUM/MEB report?

    I did find this regarding use of NARSUM. Appears they do use it to a certain extent in regards to their decision.

    Does VA use NARSUM/MEB report?

    Ok thank you for clarifying. Just didn’t know if MEB/PEB said aggravated and VA said not service connected, what the protocol would be. Since my Spine/Back DBQ wasn’t based on service aggravation, just the normal DBQ. I found this on VA website so it seems like they might have access to NARSUM.

    Does VA use NARSUM/MEB report?

    No, just 3. The NARSUM has 3/4 conditions that don’t meet standards EPTS, but permanently aggravated. Just wondering if VA can disagree with the MEB/PEB.

    @Provis @chaplaincharlie @johnbgately any idea on this? From what I’ve read is the MEB packet only gets sent for VARR?

    Does VA use NARSUM/MEB report?

    Does the VA see the MEB package/NARSUM when conducting their ratings? Ie. Does the VA usually agree with MEB service aggravated determination if indicated on NARSUM?

    I called VA hotline and asked if case has a rater yet. Didn’t tell me the day I was assigned but I called them on the 8th then later found out from PEBLO that I was found unfit on the 8th. So just assumed both happened the same day.
