Hello again,
I just wanted to shoot an update and ask a question or two. I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency, bicuspid aortic valve, and mitral valve prolapse (all symptomatic). I had my MEB physical today and told the PA that I also had trouble sleeping through the night (which I do). The NARSUM from the doctor can't be done until after a sleep study.
But anyway, in the copy I was given it states 'aortic stenosis rehumatic with insufficieny' and 'prolapsing mitral valve leaflet syndrome'. How are these rated by the Army or VA? I can't make sense of the rating system for the stenosis and insufficieny, I know I had between an 8 and 10 METS. I can't find anything on mitral valve prolapse.
I was also wondering the timeframe once the NARSUM is completed. How long does the IPEB process take? If I agree to their findings how long after that? If I don't agree to their findings what is the timeframe on the formal PEB?
I know my questions are probably asked one hundred times over for various individuals but I appreciate any points here. Thanks much.
Addendum: The physical also determined I do not qualify for military service.
