I have been checking these forums for updates for months now without registering. Well I just got my results back yesterday for my MEB (malignant melanoma stage 1) results were 10% with severance. My package was submitted to texas on NOV 4th. I just wanted to register for the website to tell you guys this so you know there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am just waiting on my orders now and then Im gonna put in for terminal leave!!! Good luck everybody!
7833 Malignant melanoma:
Rate as scars (DC’s 7801, 7802, 7803, 7804, or 7805), disfigurement of the head, face,
or neck (DC 7800), or impairment of function (under the appropriate body system).
Note: If a skin malignancy requires therapy that is comparable to that used for
systemic malignancies, i.e., systemic chemotherapy, X-ray therapy more
extensive than to the skin, or surgery more extensive than wide local excision,
a 100-percent evaluation will be assigned from the date of onset of treatment,
and will continue, with a mandatory VA examination six months following
the completion of such antineoplastic treatment, and any change in evaluation
based upon that or any subsequent examination will be subject to the
provisions of §3.105(e). If there has been no local recurrence or metastasis,
evaluation will then be made on residuals. If treatment is confined to the
skin, the provisions for a 100-percent evaluation do not apply.
Did you have any of the systemic treatment listed above (chemo, etc.,)? You agree with the findings?
