This may seem like the opposite of what others are trying to accomplish, but I was diagnosed with this while I've been going through the MEB process. The VA requested an addendum because of my Fibro diagnosis and scheduled me a visit to see a Navy employed Shrink. I was forced to see a civilian shrink prior to this because of a failed questionnaire and had 3 visits with him with no diagnosis coming from it. I expected that and told him I didn't feel I had any issues worthy of me being there and he agreed.
Fast forward to receiving my NARSUM, unbeknown to me the Navy Shrink had diagnosed me with this. So when I did my C&P exam I told the doc I didn't agree with the diagnosis. He agreed after talking with me for about an hour that it was more of a generalized anxiety and a fear of being in public places.
From the get go I told each Shrink I seen, what I was dealing with and my exact issues are that I basically feel blah and it's very hard to become excited about doing anything. I avoid social situations where there's a large gathering when I don't know anyone. For example, going to a packed bar and being there alone causes me to panic a little and leave. I'm not sad, depressed, suicidal, or anything like that so I'm not sure how this even came about.
I haven't heard anything after that C&P exam so my question is how can I disagree with this diagnosis if it somehow has stayed on my NARSUM that was sent to the PEB? Is this something I can accomplish with a VARR or will this require a formal board request?
