TLDR: Air Force for +8yr, RLS for +2yr, declared fit, appeal AFRC?

Hello all,
Just had some quick questions about how to proceed. I recently was refered for a MEB for restless legs specifically. I had hoped smooth sailing as 6130 states sleep related movement disorders with obstructive sleep, mood disturbance (I'm noted down as depressed for sleep issues and am taking medication) and chronic prescription usage to promote sleep (am on 4 seperate medications for the RLS and other sleep related issues for over 2 years) However, my decision arrived as fit and to return to duty with ALC Code: C2 (Y).

Both my PCM and CC were geared towards unfit, stating as such in their respective documents.

PEBLO is as unhelpfull as ever.

- What are my options for appealing AFPC's decision of being fit with some (my opinion) pretty obvious looking evidence?
- Where can I receive a copy of my NARSUM to see if it did not included relevant information?
- What else should I do?

Can add further relevant information upon request that I wasnt aware to add.
Thanks for reading.
 
Do you know if you were referred to a “fit for duty” DES as opposed to a line of duty DES?

If im understanding my situation right, I would be having the next RILO upon next PHA and have this be readdressed in a year.

Otherwise I'm not sure what your asking.
 
The MEB makes recommendations solely based on medical conditions and medical standards. The PEB is a whole person concept, thus medical retention standards are only part of the equation.

Your condition will be monitored yearly (a RILO). If your conditions becomes more problematic, then a MEB will be initiated again and likely another PEB.
 
NARSUM should be visible via medical records in TriCare

Ok, that makes sense for how I got to this situation. However, do I have a choice in disagreeing (aka appeal) how problematic the conditions already are, as in, not waiting another year or more? I'm on my second neurologist across 2+ years after already having the diagnosis and have been chasing symptoms with no resolution in site. I've been very verbal with the impact to my life, family, and health across all my appointments.

I guess I'm just struggling to see how all of that looks to them, rather than just from my end.

I appreciate the info so far!
 
Have you contacted Airmen Counsel at Randolph? They are lopped in on all the documents and can give you an assessment of your viable options.
