Could somebody please link me a copy of the most current memo for Chronic Adjustment Disorder or if there is an addendum to AR 40-501 Chapter 3?

I would like to know the standards for retention and what is considered to meet standards or not meet standards.

https://www.usapda.army.mil/usapda/docs/Chronic-Adjustment-Disorder-Medical-Retention-Standard.pdf

Is there a guideline or description of what should be considered to be unfitting? I think i may fall under 3 b. because of the numerous amount of tretment that I have endured (interference with duty performance).

Good deal! :)

Unfortunately, I am not sure of a creditable answer but I would suggest that you make an inquiry with PEBLO11 for any potential response; he's the originator of the "Adjustment Disorder news" thread.

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!

I had a great appeal written up and my MEB attorney (office of the soldier counsel) recoomended that i just save it and wait for the PEB. His advice was that since it was just an ammendment that bu filing an apeal and asking for an IMR, it give the appearance that I am just trying to stall.

Counsel was a former PEB attorney and feels this is the most sound course of action. Let the file go back to DRaS, get the 199 and then see if I need to adjust fire.

Hopefully, all works in your favor to receive the desired outcome you are positive proactively pursuing.

I had this mindset of accuracy and if there was an inaccuracy, then I would request that it be fixed. Guidance from the MEB counsel was that each time you make an appeal and/or rebuttal, there is a response in your medical record from the MEB physicians.

To much clutter and focus will get lost by the time it reaches the PEB. His recommendation is to write a Memo for the Record stating you will address it at the PEB level. Your memo gets filed, however does not end up in the Medical Records. Once it is at the PEB level, then you can provide all of the documentatiuon and get the inaccuarcy fixed.

Indeed; hmm, maybe the MEB attorney's rationale is potentially applicable with my ongoing review at the USAPDA NCRPEB!

To that extent, it’s interesting at least to me; thanks for the supplemental insight! ;)

I could not disagree more with holding back appeals based on that reasoning.
