So I recently executed a PCS move to VA Beach from Gulfport, MS. I had my referrals go through as we do when establishing a new PCM. I went to my Rheumatologist for my initial appointment and he stated he is placing me 105 and starting a MED board for me. Never dealt with this before.
I’m a Purple Heart recipient with a few other issues as well. Anxiety, depression, TBI, etc. I’m being treated for that stuff and it’s business as usual.
I’ve been on Humira for a year because of severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I was treated originally at Keesler AFB and continued duty as normal. No mention of separation, boards, etc. needless to say I was caught off guard by this. I have heard that humira puts a member into a non-deployable status but MED board? Really?
I have 18.7 years of active service and was curious if this board could have a negative impact on my retirement? I’ve heard that anyone with over 18 years is safe but they’re only rumors. I’ll stop taking the humira if it impacts my retirement. I’m an LDO and was commissioned with 12 years of service. So I cannot retire until I have 22 years in.
Any help, info or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I’m pretty frustrated with this whole thing.
