Good evening
After initially receiving a 10% DOD 100%VA rating, I submitted a VARR and was properly awarded an 80% DOD/100% VA rating. The problem is that I was placed on TDRL. My unfitting condition is narcolepsy and I have upwards of 10 narcoleptic episodes a week and have been on a constant medicine regimen for 3 years. I have spoken to my service sleep doctor and he fully believes that my condition is stable and permanent. What are my options? He is more than willing to write a memorandum stating that I am stable and permanent. Would it be a good idea to select "I do not concur but waive a formal hearing" and submit a statement from my meb lawyer and the memorandum from my doc? Is this ever successful? I appreciate all your help!
