Congrats! Your ratings and everything you went through make me very optimistic for my situation. Hopefully the rest is easy going for you and good luck!

Very smart. I guess I’m not to much in a hurry, as I planned initially to make it a career. I’m coming up on the 10 year anniversary so what’s another 10? I’m just hoping for the best in the end. More nervous about the outcome than anything on how they decide to rate this. Sense our...

I have not tried making appointments myself. My PEBLO seemed pretty clear that “they will call me”. Now that you say it, I probably should do that just to get the ball rolling. My DOS is 14Dec20 so I am going to have to extend more than likely to get through this process. It’s been crazy...

Awesome! Must be nice to be close to done with it all. It could be close to a year before I even get in for exams because of Covid and how slow the VA is taking patients for C&P exams. I’ll be watching to see what happens in the end with you. Thanks for replying.

Any news from you? Did you get ratings or anything yet?

I’m in the same boat. I actually did pass out one day after running and had the paramedics waking me up. I personally can’t imagine that they will return to duty but you never know I guess. I’m about 7 months into the trial and it might have suppressed them some but not a lot. These all...

Have you heard of anyone else with our situation and if so what they ended up getting? Not knowing is killing me. I know what the VA rating table says but just curious. Been on Injections for awhile now and it sure seems to not be working.

Hopefully all goes well for you. From the way it sounds once you have your final appointment it shouldn’t be too long for the Air Force to come back with a decision and then show you what ratings they are thinking. I’ll be watching.

I received a call from the VA last week and we went through the conditions I will be claiming. I am claiming obviously anaphylaxis and urticaria induced from exercise for my main two. I also have 6 other things I am trying to claim as well. He said he would be scheduling the exams but said it...

Jeez seems like your situation is crazy. I went through one irilo and commanders statement said retain and they came saying proceed with the full MEB. I hoping the ratings are worth it. I’ll be watching your post as you will probably get them before I do.

Well, we must be at the same exact point. I’m waiting on the c&p exams as well and it might be a while because of Covid before they get me in. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you.

Thanks for the info. I have looked at the disability ratings. I have anaphylaxis and urticaria. Anaphylaxis is anywhere from 10%-40% and then urticaria has its own rating as well I believe. It’ll just be a waiting game at this point. I don’t prefer the severance and rather have some sort of...

Yes as far as I know as of now. I will be meeting with the Peblo soon to find out all the details. I have had heart issues in the past as well but as far as I know it’s just for the severe allergic reactions I have had for some time now when sense being deployed.

I’ll hit my 10 year mark this December. My CC did recommend retain. Now that it’s back from AFPC saying move on with the full MEB just seeing what that’s going to look like.

Hello, Just found out that AFPC decided to do a Full MEB. Diagnosed with Idiopathic Anaphylaxis and have been on Xolair injections for 6 months now. Before that I passed out twice because of allergic reactions due to exercise or sweating and they seem to only be getting worse. This all...
