fit or unfit

    3rd officer (MH condition)

    I called the PEBLO and they stated my case is with 3rd officer. How long is a case usually with a 3rd officer? My referred condition was a personality disorder but an IMR diagnosed it as a mood disorder. If found fit will I be admin separated or just continue until EAS?

    Conflicting diagnosis

    Im active duty USMC and been in 7.5 years. Has anyone been found unfit for a personality disorder? Or been able to appeal the diagnosis at the FPEB. I have conflicting MH Diagnosis but was only found unfitting for Personality Disorder, not anxiety or depression. I feel like I'm being screwed...

    Psoriatic Arthritis & Psoriasis (Humira)

    I know the PsA is rated of per joint and I believe the Psoriasis is rated off the Humira use. So that would be 10% per joint w/bilateral factor and I think 60% with psoriasis because of Humira use and corticosteroids. My case after begging and getting the patient advocate involved was finally...

    Fit / Unfit Finding

    Thank you for the feedback in my previous post - I may not have worded my question correctly. I read on an old post from March of 2020 that, "when you see 2 claims on va.gov one closed and one opened this means the VA has finished your proposed ratings which basically means you were found...

However, after further reviewing my C&P Exam for my unfitting condition “Other Spondylosis w/ Radiculopathy” and “Chronic Pain”.. the VA examiner did a poor job.
