Have an unusual situation here...
I have had various ongoing medical issues for a few years now, was sent to MMRB & retained (reclassed). Afterwards my conditions "stabilized" and I continued to serve...didnt like my new MOS...and eventually I decided I wanted to ETS (regular ETS) this year and started the process to get out.
I have already entered the BDD program for the VA, had my C&Ps and am supposed to start clearing in two weeks. However, I started feeling ill and had my labs checked. Turns out one of my "stable" conditions has (potentially) gotten much worse. I am having these labs re-done tomorrow to confirm the results and then will "probably" be sent into the MEB process. This prompts me to ask several questions:
1. Can I be forced into the MEB process? (Although I think it would be a beneficial to me & allow me to get evaluated/treated further)
2. What happens to my (already filed) VA claim and C&P exams?
3. What would happen to my ETS date (1 November)? Will HRC "extend me"?
4. Will the MEB process go faster since I have already had phase I/phase II and C&P exams?
5. Looking through my C&P exams, I anticipate a 20%, 10%, 10%, 10%; would these same ratings be used in my MEB?
Thanks in advance, my wife and I have alot of questions right now as this is completely unexpected.
