Hello all,
So I started my Med Board on 5/10/21. I had to get a revised LOD. That process started June 2020 (See my other post on that mess). So really its been a long time coming. This is what I have so far. I stated this in another post as well, But when your VA MSC submits your paperwork to the VA keep a lookout on E-benefits for "exam request processing". You don't get an alert on this so you have to check it manually. But when it comes up, call QTC to schedule exams. They will ask your info etc. Hopefully save some time on some peoples cases. I know it did for me.
MEB referred conditions:
- Lumbar Spondylolisthesis w/ Sciatica
- Cervical Disc Displacement / Occipital Neuralgia
- Right Knee Patellar Tendonitis
- Migraine Headaches
- Major Depressive D/O
The Occipital Neuralgia and Migraines are one in the same. So I'm not sure why they are listed twice.
I already have ratings for these before starting the MEB Those are:
Lumbar Spondylolisthesis with retrolisthesis: -40%
Sciatica Left- 10%
Sciatica Right-10%
Cervical disc displacement:-10%
Right knee: -10%
Occipital neuralgia/ Migraines: -30%
Mental health -50%
Tinnitus- 10% ( this is not a referred condition)
For a current rating of 90%
I think most everything will be the same. Mental health and the Migraines/Occipital may go up. But who knows.
