How severe is your fibro? I was just recently diagnosed with it too (Sep) did your PCM put you in for an MEB or was it rheumatology? I’m currently being looked at for exertional compartment syndrome in both legs. Just curious how your fibro MEB came about. When they diagnosed me they didn’t...

They should rate each condition individually, to which they will combine these together to get your DOD unfit rating. As long as you have a DOD rating of 30% or more, you’ll be medically retired from the military.

To my knowledge, once all of your VA exams are complete your VA rep will send your package to their headquarters to allow for your rating to occur. I didn’t claim any dental issues, so I’m not sure how that would work. If you are claiming dental for disability through the VA, I’m assuming you’re...

Hi! Sorry that you are going through this. From what I’ve seen, and from personal experience, most people with fibro are not retained. If you have not already, I would definitely look into the military disability made easy website, it’ll help you determine possible conditions you can claim for...

Thank you! My PEBLO told me that the process is actually going a lot faster now. Apparently once you are done with your VA C&P exams and they are finalized, the VA goes ahead and send them to get ratings. Therefore, once the PEB gets your package and deems you unfit, there shouldn't be as long...

Concluded to be unfit by the PEB - 40% DOD/100% VA - to be permanently medically retired! Signed all paperwork today, 3/13/20, just waiting to receive orders to begin outprocessing

Email from myPERS that 356 was sent to PEB: 3/12/20 waiting for PEBLO to contact me to go over PEB results - I presume they are unfit due to the progress I saw on va.gov the other day

I didn’t even know SAMMC offered a class on fibro, so obviously I haven’t been. My PCM suspected I had fibro, and we put a referral for rheumatology and neurology to get my official diagnosis.

No. I am still waiting for headquarters to do the “unfit” ruling.

I hope you hear something soon. I felt the same way for a long time. It’s so hard doing my job with my fibro. It takes a real toll mentally. I, too, cannot wait to eliminate the stressors from work. best of luck to you

Logged into va.gov just to see if anything was updated. This was what I saw, not sure what it means, but at least it looks as if there is progress through the VA side as well.

Wow. I’m surprised that mine is going so fast, but I’m being very proactive with my communication too. It felt like forever trying to get my MEB initiated so I’m glad that the process is finally moving along.

Received automated email from myPERS about receipt of the upload of my file : 3/10/20. Tip for anyone whos away from work email often: add your personal email to your myPERS account. You’ll get the notification that way too.

I am an AD AF individual with a little over 3 years service. Long backstory to all of medical information, but I was on a profile for over 2 years due to an injury that happened on duty. Originally, I was being MEB'd for this by the DAWG, but they changed my MEB to be for my diagnosis of...
