fit for duty

Hello all! I am new to this forum so please excuse the questions, I just wanted to have some insight and hear from other people's experiences as I have been trying to find past threads, but haven't found anything near my situation. I have been going through a MEB for 2 years and fighting it to...

I am currently starting the MEB process and I am curious if i will be found fit or unfit for duty here is my situation. I was recently diagnosed with scoliosis and some hight loss with a 13 degree curve in my upper back a less than 10 degree lower back curve and tilted hips. I also experience...

Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me if I have had a normal timeline? This seems a bit outrageous. I have also been offered my dream assignment if I can get rid of my assignment availability code by the end of February. Does anyone have any insight on if this even possible? Also, would anyone who...

There is mild decrease in the L5-S1 disc space, which may be congenital or indicative of mild degenerative intervertebral disc disease, otherwise, normal spine. ************************************************************************************** MRI L-Spine Without Contrast Report on 07 Nov...

Hey team, talked to the PEBLO and after 67 days still don’t have a formal/informal answer. Was told to check eBenefits for any type of movement instead of va.gov website. My claim says “pending decision” and upon further details says a VSR has recommended a decision and preparing a documents to...

Good NARSUM. However, my commander wrote that I was an awesome airman and my conditions do not effect my job. Should I submit a rebuttal to that and highlight my duty limitations. My supervisor also said she would put in some input. I do not want to say too much because it could effect me...

Can someone please tell me what is going to happen now that i have been found fit and have been denied a FPEB. I am at a loss that a Narsum can over turn DOCUMENTED medical condition. Like how do these board members sleep at night knowing that they are screwing over people who are sick and in...

So I’ve been on 2 LIMDU’s for degenerative disk, arthritis of the spine, narrowing of the spine and siatica nerve pain due to disk in lower spine. I’ve seen the pain clinic, Orthopedic and my PCM many times. The pain clinic said I was fit for duty despite not improving, Ortho was at first going...

Hello all, I assume this is the first step to out. One of my Doctors called Tricare and advised them he had concerns and I needed help so that ended in the Army contacting me and requesting my medical records and now what appears to be a permanent profile. I was referred to Fort Hood Behavioral...

I need help and information regarding the formal board. I was found fit for duty for a mental/anxiety/insomnia condition (that they refuse to list as PTSD). My off post doctor says it's PTSD, yes I included those notes in my written appeal. My written appeal was denied (I do not know the reasons...

So I was recently found fit for full duty and worldwidedeployable after my 6 month limdu period. It seems I'm going to have a problem passing my overseas screening simply because the gaining command (a ship not shore duty) thinks I may be unsuitable. I recently received orders to a boat that...

I'm new to this site, and after reading other posts I'm hoping I can find help here too. Long story short, after having multiple deaths in my family and being in a really bad spot mentally, I went to the mental health clinic just to talk to a doctor and try to get help with coping better. The...

Hello all, Theres an update to my story, the board unfortunately found me fit (myself, everyone who has treated me, and my attorney were all in shock). My question is, how long after my rebuttal was submitted does the IPEB have to either overturn their decision, or grant/decline a FPEB?

Last information that I got (no thanks to PEBLO) was that my case is listed as "QA READY." Calling the PEB allowed me to find out that I'm "Pre VA." This was all a couple of weeks ago. I'm up to 78 days now, and still no fit or unfit rating. Is this a bad sign? PEBLO continues to say "no...
