Hello everyone, A bit of background.. I am 5 years active duty Air Force and began seeing mental health around the tail end of September 2020. I initially went in for very bad anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive thinking, inability to focus, etc.) After bouncing me around two or three...

I'm on a Med Board for a mental health condition, that really embarrassing. But it's caused other issues that I've been diagnosed with, such as anxiety, depression, and OCD. I was wondering, could the VA deny my condition(s) as not being service related, even if they were all diagnosed in...

Hello All. This is my first post so I’m sorry if I’m asking questions that have already been addressed in other threads. I started receiving treatment this past January which, ultimately, led me to a PTSD diagnoses. My new psychiatrist is suggesting that my symptoms may have originally started...

I have been diagnosed with Anxiety, OCD, and BP II. I just did my NARSUM two weeks ago and Mental Health submitted everything last Thursday. Anyone go through something similar? If so, could you share timeline/ratings you were given? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, new to the forum so any apologies if this isn’t how it works. Long story short, I’m rated for a mental Heath condition and in 2017 I submitted a claim for IBS secondary to my disability. I was awarded service connected for chronic diarrhea but 0% because they couldn’t determine an...

So I am more than likely going to be referred to a PEB here soon for chronic migraines. With that said, it looks like if my case gets sent to a PEB they will evaluate more than just what I’m being boarded for. Is this correct? I also have sleep apnea (with CPAP), depression, and anxiety. What is...

So my NARSUM was sent to AFPC last week and I'm waiting to hear back now if it'll be an RTD or full MEB. My CC recommended an MEB in the statement and said that while I was a hard worker I had missed over 100 days of work due to being sick (fibromyalgia, bad IBS, anxiety) and had been off and on...

Hi to everyone! I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong forum. I decided to do this thread due to not finding anyone or at least me not finding anything for TMJ cases for MEB/PEB around the site. I know how it feels to stress and rev up the anxiety in doing the whole process and the long...

Hey guys, just looking for some advice from those with experience. So i went to see the clinic psychologist about a week ago for anxiety, its been going on for about 4-5 years now and could be related to ptsd, she was pretty helpful and is recommending some therapy but also a fit for duty...

Hey there, I have a good amount of medical conditions that is starting to weigh to heavily on me. I have the typical back problems from being so tall on the ship and other physical injuries, but what I am really worried about is my mental health. I already have been diagnosed with major...

I got told by my doctor I would have a medical board put up against me, and checked with him / 1st Sargent and the commander just finished his letter to send with the doctors letter. Where am I In the process?? I always tell my doctor I don't want it. I really think I need it though I'm...

Hello, I have made posts on here before, but I'm at a really unsure part in my service. I've been told that I won't be going under a MEB anymore due to the nature of my DOS being Aug 28. I was informed that my doctor was developing a report months ago. I understand that MEB's aren't a given and...

Has anyone went through more than one MEB for separate mental health conditions at the same time? Curious of the process/results/ratings?

I'm AD AF with about 6 years TIS. I was anticipating a med board and the process has just started. I got a call from my PEBLO Apr 3 that basically said the process was starting and I'd have to notify her of any leave and couldn't go TDY. Apr 6 My profile was changed from temporary to a code 37...

Hello All, I've been scouring this site for awhile now and finally decided to make a post. I'm hoping somebody with MEB experience can shed some light on my current situation. I'm AD AF and I've been in for 3 years. In January 2016 I started coughing up blood. I went to my PCM and told her I...
