Good afternoon, everyone, I'm just posting this to get some opinions and possibly an answer to a question. During the exam for my TBI, the doc marked everything as "Normal" and proceeded to say that I have no discernable memory issues or cognitive impairment. While both myself and my history...

Just seeing if anyone had experience with appealing at the Formal Board. I’m covering all areas. I believe I have a good shot at decent ratings, but who the hell knows anymore. However, if it came down to it, and a member wanted to stay in service, how would that person go about that process? I...

Hello, TL/DR: Is there any chance for a reevaluation of my low-back rating of 10% being increased after being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), despite how much range of motion i had during the test during IDES? I am active military with over 8 years of service and have appealed an...

Just thought I’d put my timeline out there for everyone and to give some hope for anyone filing a PFR. I hadn’t seen too many posts on here about successful PFRs or the turnaround time (at least I couldn’t find many with the search feature) and I know a lot of people aren’t well versed in their...

Hi, I recently went through an MEB in the Air Force and was found unfit for duty and recommended for TDRL with 60% rating for asthma. I was really hoping it would be PDRL and my PEBLO seemed shocked as well that it wasn’t. I requested a Formal Board in order to change it from TDRL to PDRL. Do I...

So I was placed on TDRL for mental health for bipolar and MDD, I fought three times and finally got 30% DOD TDRL. I had my first eval and I was dropped to 10% separate with severance. I am now requesting a formal board and should hopefully be hearing from an attorney soon. But has anyone been...

I need help and information regarding the formal board. I was found fit for duty for a mental/anxiety/insomnia condition (that they refuse to list as PTSD). My off post doctor says it's PTSD, yes I included those notes in my written appeal. My written appeal was denied (I do not know the reasons...

I'm on my way to a formal board for Fibromyalgia. i was found fit and we are trying to appeal. My lawyer suggested that i go see my PCM to have them note that if I'm found fit i would still be unable to do certain things. I have gotten a new PCM since i started the Med Board and when i saw him...

I was wondering if anyone in here has been to the formal board at Randolph? I'm having a hard time finding branch specific threads in the FPEB section. Basically, I would like details of how they prepared, how the court is set up, and the outcome. What kind of evidence can you submit besides...

Good evening, My formal board is coming next week and I was told by my lawyer that i need an updated NMA. I was put on the board for rhabdomyolysis and syncope. When I did my Va claim, my back and hip plus anxiety/depression(adjustment disorder) were on the list of the many conditions that i...
