Hello everyone, just wanted to post my Final MEB results. I was MEBd back in January for psoriatic Arthritis. On July 20th i received my ratings of 70 dod 80 va. My rating actually came back wrong but since my VA will Always be higher i decided to fight it on the outside because i wanted to...

Hello everyone. I have my retirement orders and i just found out i have a small hernia. I would like to have surgery but not sure if that would push back my date. My retirement date is 27 September. Thanks for any help.

If you are single, it may not be but if you have a family, it most definitely is. Good luck with everything

It is more then likely that you will get rated higher then 30% rating on the DOD side.

I am not very educated with much of this stuff but I am currently going through the same meb minus the AS. I was just found unfit about a week ago. I would say your chances are very strong on being found unfit. Especially if you get to the full meb portion. I am also af but only have 4 years...

That's really far apart. I would call and maybe try to get it moved sooner. Good luck man

Thanks Mike, I will do that. The VA knows that I'm on the Humira for both conditions, it just wasn't marked correctly on my paperwork. It says in their comments under the psoriasis portion that I take the Humira but it doesn't say if it's constant or not. There's only a section for topical...

About 3 weeks. My packet is being sent up tomorrow so hopefully ill know if I'm found fit or unfit in the next couple weeks here. I started a new thread cause I had am issue come up today if you wanna take a look at it for some reference.

Good evening. I received my results back from my VA exams via my peblo and I was reading it over. I am claiming 3 conditions, psoriasis, psoriatic Arthritis, and tendinitis. I have been on Otezla and Humira for the past year and a half and from what I have read, the rating for being on an...

Stuffs exciting when things are happening. I cant wait for my next call haha.

That sounds horrible man, I just had an infected lymph node and that hurt. Can't imagine having that psa in my neck. Hopefully you can get it rated but if you mention it at your Exams they will put it in. Good luck

Same here, I got my va exams next Wednesday so I'm pretty excited to get the process moving along.

Thanks for the update. I was also on methotrexate and that didn't work at all. Then I tried otezla and that was barely doing anything either. It was causing me to get these bad ingrown hairs called boils and the pain was unbearable. So I am now on humira and I am just praying that it doesn't...

Where you on an immunosuppressive before Humira?

What are you hoping happens? What medicine are you on?

MC, thanks for the update. I took a look at the VASRD and saw that I should be rated at around a 60%. I just want to get out and was inquiring if anyone knew the chances of actually being found unfit. So I am hoping your doctor is accurate. Thank you for the message.

That is helpful, thank you. I am aware of what I will receive, I just wanted to know the chances of actually getting out/medically retired. I really don't want to be found fit.

Hello, I am currently undergoing an MEB for psoriatic arthritis. I am currently taking Humira and was on Otezla and Methotrexate for the past 2 years. I am about to have my CnP exams here in the next couple weeks but am getting very anxious about what is going to happen. Can someone just ease my...
