Hey Folks,
I am being referred to MEB for two conditions so far;
Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD)
Hip pain (labrum tear)
I wanted to post my timeline especially during COVID to hopefully give others an idea of the process and ask for some guidance. This was completely dropped in my lap a few weeks ago and between this am homeschooling and this I am a little overwhelmed.
So far
04/22/2020 Referred to MEB
04/30/2020 Legal Inbrief (Tele)
04/30/2020 1st Appointment with PEBLO (Tele)
05/08/2020 Neuropsych Eval
05/08/2020 P3 Submitted
I have yet to get an appointment with my MSC. I have about 30 additional injuries I would like to claim and I am having a bit of trouble categorizing everything and getting my records in order with the number of injuries I have. I've had a non-combat TBI in the past and my short-term memory is shot.
Should I categorize injuries by the condition? i.e chronic, then recurring? Should I provide a personal statement for each condition citing where in my records supporting information can be found? For example, I would sort my conditions I am claiming into two categories
Chronic- SSD, PTSD, Hip pain, back condition, neck condition, Tinnitus, Fibromyalgia, etc
Recurring- Plantar Fascitis, left arm pain, ED, eye pain, etc
Then I would write a personal statement for each injury I am claiming how I go the condition and how the condition affects me on a daily basis.
What do you guys think? Am I taking this too far? Could I be shooting myself in the foot with personal statements? I honestly want to be as prepared as possible and leave nothing open to interpretation.
