Adding conditions after PEB but before signing a 199

Welcome to the PEB Forum!
Did your IDES attorney mention to request a Formal PEB (FPEB) hearing for the opportunity to potentially get more medical conditions deemed "unfit for duty" at this particular point in time while in the DoD IDES process?
Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in my attempt to have additional medical conditions deemed "unfit for duty" while at the FPEB hearing. Albeit, your individual IDES case may yield favorable results at a FPEB hearing as based upon the availability of supporting medical evidence and/or medical documentation validating that the performance of your assigned military duties are being affected.
Bottom line, if you don't request a FPEB hearing at this point then you shall miss your opportunity to potentially receive additional PEB-referred "unfit for duty" medical conditions while still in the DoD IDES process. Take care!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"

Yes.
No, it doesn't necessarily take a remand from the PEB (but, this is a method to achieve that goal, if you can get it).
You can appeal the FPEB. In fact, yesterday, I had a successful outcome from such an appeal (it was an AF case) which added an unfitting condition after the FPEB.
Yes, talking with your lawyer is always a good idea.
Not sure what course of action was recommended. But, like I mentioned, the addition of unfitting conditions can be achieved after the PEB.

Don't forget post PEB appeal rights. Like I mentioned, yesterday, I got a favorable addition of an unfitting condition post FPEB.
The baseline question as to whether it is possible to have an additional unfitting condition found after an PEB (IPEB or FPEB) is easy. Yes, it can be done. The specifics and whether it is likely would turn on your own case's fact and circumstances. You did not provide much info about the substance of the case, so I really can't weigh in on the likelihood of success or what issues might support such an outcome.
I hope this was helpful and you get a good result from any appeals you may pursue! Best of luck!
