The results are in and after fighting the AF Medical systemfor 4 years, I will be permanently retired for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(VASRD Code 8799-8713). The compensable percentageon paper is 30% but the PEBLO said that the % is not for pay purposes. Will see her tomorrow to ask what...

Is the timeline fromthe MEB to IPEB different with each service? I have read some that seem to have come back within a month and thensome are still waiting. Seems like the Air Force is behind on thepower curve.

I signed for my MEB to go to the IPEB on Sept 16th2011. I have been diagnosed with ChronicPain Syndrome. The local board deemed me“unfit for duty” and “do not return to duty”. I have looked at the VASRD and CPS is classified as a mentaldisorder. How will this affect megetting a job on the...

After 4 long years of being on a non-deployable profile my MEB package is finally on its way to AFPC. My PEBLO just informed me that I need to have a Letter of Exception by tomorrow. She didn’t have an example and I can’t seem to find on online. Does anyone have a copy that I could review so...

Finally after fighting the USAF medical system, I am up for a MEB with a diagnosis of Chronic Pain. Trouble with that is that I don’t see any ratings for just Chronic Pain. As of right now I cannot walk without a cane and cannot lift more than 5 lbs. I also have trouble sleeping from the...

Ok. I am going out of my mind. I have been told that I have masses on my brain but then I was told I don’t. I have numbness of both arms and legs and have been for almost a year now. I have been fighting numbness in one arm for up to 4 years. I have been on a non-deployment profile for...

My MEB board is tomorrow the 15th at 1630. Still don’t know what I am going up to the MEB for. I have heard MS, or Fibromyalgia, and/or Chronic Pain. I hope they find me “unfit” for duty and forward it on to the IPEB. Here is hoping anyway. A guy in my AMU just got found “fit” for duty for...

I saw my PEBLO on the 1st of Dec. She recommended that I write a Letter of Exception. She said that it could help my case at the local board. I found an example on this site but it is asking to stay in. I am asking for retirement. Does anyone have a copy of one asking for retirement...

As of 2 Nov I have been coded 37 on the AF Form 469 for my tingling/numbness of my outer extremities. The neurologist has diagnosed me with “conversion disorder”. My PCM said that I am up on my 365 days of non-deployable profile so he is starting the MEB. He doesn’t think that I have this...

So after 4 years of fighting the numbness in my extremities I was told again today that it was all in my head. The Neurology doctor said that my brain has “rewired” to not accept sensation. He has referred me to the mental health doctors to talk about why it has done this. I walk with a cane...

Here is my story. I have been in the military since Jan 2000. In the summer of 2006 my right fingertips started tingling. Kind of like I slept on them and they were waking up. I saw my PCM and was told that I have possible Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He put me on a profile and referred me to...

My problems started about 4 yrs. ago. I have no feeling in my right arm from the neck down to my fingertips. I have seen numerous PCM’s but all I get is the “It must be in your head. Take this medicine” answer. I have been MRI’d 8 different times, seen 3 different neurologist, and a...

I am a E-5 in the USAF. I work on Jet engines. I have no feeling in my right arm from my neck down to my fingertips. I do have motion but now that is going. I have been fitting this problem for more than 3yrs now. I have been on a non-deployable profile just as long. I PCS'd in May from...
