Not sure you if you are referring to me but that's what i told him. Even if it isn't added now, going to physical therapy, pain management and going to see his PA will help his case to have it added if he goes to the formal PEB. By then, his P3 profile will be 6 months old and he was told by...

He wants to try to do everything he can to have it added now but was just wondering if that doesn't happen, then how it would possibly go with the PEB.

I figured it was rare. If he ends up having to go to the formal PEB after he gets the results back from them, how long does that usually take? A few months? I was also wondering since they won't consider the P3 profile now because he has only had it for 3 months, what are the odds of having the...

The IPR doctor told him on the phone that since him and the original doctor that wrote up the NARSUM agree on there just being one unfitting, that if he appeals it, the next person will same the same as them. I know once it goes to the PEB they have to consider all conditions, even newly found...

Well, the IPR doctor denied to make any changes to the NARSUM. He said my husband's P3 profile for his neck is too immature to be considered. His lawyer says appeal but my husband is at the point of giving up and just giving in to everything the MEB says. Along with, giving in when the PEB...

His neck should have been "fails to meet retention standards" on the spot and was not. His lawyer said that should be changed no problem because he has documentation and P3 profile. So it goes, IPR, addendum, then appeal if he doesn't agree with the NARSUM? I was confused about what exactly the...

My husband just turned in everything thing this morning to have an IPR done. His PEBLO called just a little while ago and said she was able to put in a good word for him and he has his appoinment for it tomorrow. His lawyer told him to have another ROM done before everything is sent to the PEB...

Paperwork for husband's IPR was submitted this morning. Guess we will be waiting a few weeks to hear back on it. Waiting makes me nervous.

Ok, thanks!

My husband's lawyer said he needs a second opinion on his ROM for his neck and back. The reoport from his C&P exam is full of contradictions. Where can he get a ROM done. Someone told him, his pain management would probably do one but we aren't sure. Anyone had o have a 2nd opinion before?

wonders how many soldiers the Va tries to screw (excuse the language). Not happy with them.

We want his neck and back added to "does not meet retention standards". As of right now, it's just his shoulder than "does not meet standards". So, the correct MRI report is definitely beneficial. The lawyer also explained the ROM as you did in parentheses. We highlighted a lot of contradictions...

Went with my husband to see the lawyer this morning. He was looking over my husband's MRI's and I mentioned some things he didn't see on the report. I found the MRI report I was referring to and showed him. Apparently my husband has MRI reports requested by Va and MRI reports by his PA. The ones...

How much weight will a supporting letter that i write for my husband's narsum appeal carry? His doctor wrote one for his neck and i have to write one regarding his neck and back. We doubt me writing a letter for his back will help. He walks with a cane that was prescribed to him, has had 2...

I was looking at that earlier, trying to determine what a possible rating would be for the lumbar if he can get it added. They go off ROM for the neck also?

He went straight to legal right afterwards. Made an appoinment for Friday but the lawyer talked to him right then. So, not sure if we are still going Friday. I just hope there is something that will be in our favor. At this point, we aren't even sure what to ask.

Well, went to the appointment this morning. Definitely was disappointing. Only had his shoulder as a boardable condition. His doctor told him, if his shoulder is not considered a boardable condition, his neck certainly would be. We want to have the neck added but not sure if there is any point...

Only 5? That isn't a lot of time. My husband has already asked how long he will have and he was told ten days. He has a new peblo now so we'll see what she says.

He will definitely be seeing legal. Thanks!

Going with my husband tomorrow to look at his NARSUM. Will he be able to get a copy of it? We know he will be waiting the full ten days to sign or appeal, hoping to get two other appointments and the results by then.
