My MEB was initiated 16 January for PTSD due to MST. 04 February, my CoC initiated separation for misconduct. I lost the separation board and from my understanding, now the board findings and MEB go to the CG for final determination. If he decides to go with the board decision and toss the MEB, do I have to start the VA process all over again. Basically it stopped after all my VA exams and I was found unfit due to PTSD (depression, anxiety, insomnia) and in the mental health addendum “dwi may be considered another marker of distress and a maladaptive attempt to to cope with traumatic experiences”. During the board, my BC was asked if she thought a sexual assault victim deserved to be tossed to the street with no help or support. She responded yes.
I have been in therapy for over a year, two months prior to the incident and have been on three different medications. In the midst of this, I had to have surgery on my foot and am in physical therapy. I am worried that I will have to start the VA process all over again and will possibly go months without treatment or physical therapy. From what I hear, they say it’s rare that the separation authority doesn’t go with MEB, but I have lost faith in my CoC.
