Just a helpful tip; MEB/PEB
Assume you are the MEB/PEB adjudicator and you are looking at all the medical evidence and non-medical evidence on a Soldier (you).
Bottom line; if you want to avoid headaches ensure the medical documentation tells the honest truth about your condition (leaving no key issues out). Also DONT assume they will be looking at all the medical evidence page by page.
From experience I had each doctor (specialists) write out what medical conditions I had (one by one) and how it affected me so a "Rock" could understand it. No freakin grey area.
I also had second opinions/multiple tests to elevate any doubt.
Last thing; I got a letter from my supervisors spelling out how I performed before and how I am since the conditions arouse. Cant help if you were jacked up before the ailments (if this is the case).
Last thing; I went to my pharmacy and requested a copy of all the legal drugs I used and tried.
You are your best advocate. When the law, regulation or whatever is not utilized Jason can come in to use his profession to help.
*Patience is a virtue; this process is far from perfect but it is what it is. Meaning; during this trying time focus on telling the story with true consistent facts.
*Kill your PEBLO will kindness and anyone else that you deal with. No one wants to deal with a pain in the a##. Let the lawyer fight with professionalism and tact to get your point across if needed.
You attempt to go to a gun fight with a knife than you will lose!!
