Background: I previously posted a possible MEB 6 months ago. A couple of things have changed. I hit my 19 year mark yesterday, however I can’t hit the retirement button until February as I’m under a service commitment. I’ve had migraines for the past two years and my treatment is Aimovig and Botox.
Six months have passed and three months ago I started having issues with syncope, I’ve randomly passed out. 7 times specifically, admitted into the hospital twice And once two weeks ago. The neurologist thinks I have Dysautonomia and placed my on Beta-Blockers with the consent of my Cardiologist. They did discover that my ejection fraction ranges from 45-50% which is low for a 37 year old male. I have a Heart MRI in January with a follow in May. The doctor doesn’t seemed worried about my ejection fraction but other doctors have. I intend to get a second opinion once the MRI is complete.
I know have a case manager on base and she submitted me for a DAWG review due to my migraine medicine, specifically the Aimovig. I went to my neurologist this week and had him take me off of it.
I called my local PEBLO to get some information. And she stated that if they did MEB me that I’d the DOD rating came back at say 70% I would still only get 50% if I made it over 20 years. I’ve read the complete opposite on this forum so I’m a little confused. She said she was going to speak with my PCM and ask them to leave me alone as I plan on retiring. She also said you can’t appeal your to the SECAF anymore so I’m worried about not making it to 20z. We’ll see what happens. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
