I recently applied for an appointment with the Army National Guard as a Medical Specalist Officer (Physical Therapist) with 7.5 years prior service in the US Navy. I was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1998 for a medical condition following a PEB. I have been informed that I do not medically qualify for the ARNG because (per the findings of the PEB) my disability is "permanent." I underwent a medical exam at MEPS in July 2010 and my
DD2808 indicated that I was “qualified for service” and “no significant or disqualifying defects." I've checked DOD Instruction 6130.03 and my medical condition is NOT disqualifying according to the guidelines listed.
My question is: can I appeal this decision with the ARNG and/or can I have my PEB results changed after 13 years?
