About to hit 14 years active duty. I have a few conditions that are about at MRDP. Torn rotator cuff, DDD, and chronic prostitis.

I was diagnosed with Benign Fasciculation Syndrome a few years ago via EMG and an Army neurologist however I have had increasing episodes of cramping which is a similar condition. I still need to get back to neuro but my question is the condition in itself grounds for MEB? If so what condition does it fall under? The issue I have is our base does not have neurology so im worried it's going to be hard to translate a civilians neurology report into something meaningful. Just looking to add an extra condition to my meb if possible. Thanks in advance.
 
When a formal MEB is started you meet with the MSC (VA Rep). She/he will help you file a claim. They will know how to file your conditions. I suggest you write all your conditions down before meeting with MSC. The MSC will help you translate them to the proper term.

Thank you. I do have a couple other questions. 1. Does denying treatment have any affect on your rating? Specifically surgeries/procedures? 2. If an MEB is submitted for 1 condition can there be additional service disqualifying conditions added in the process? For example my DDD with radicular sx hits 365 day temp profile in November but I could have torn rotator cuff and chronic prostitis submitted in a couple months.
 
1. It can, as the VA rates residuals. No treatment could sheet the residuals upward. 2. Yes, but it sometimes takes going to the FPEB.
