I'm so sorry to hear this. I do have a question for you. Were you rated at 30% or higher from the VA(within 12 months) for the same condition you were medically separated? I ask because NVSLP may be able to assist. I'll have to see if they do any kind of appeals.
Hello I’m new to the forum but I was hoping to get some help
Just to give you my background.
I was separated in April 2002 for personality disorder, Which didn’t exist, I was diagnosed with MDD and PTSD by VA in October 2016 100% P/T.
I contacted NVLSP in 2016 they were kind enough to be me in touch with a pro Bono attorney who is awesome!
December 2018 the Army Medical Review board confirmed they received my application and evidence (put together by my attorney)
October 2019 my attorney asked for status update and we were told a Medical Advisory would be needed. I nor my attorney received a copy of it. I don’t know if it was completed or if hearing nothing about it is a good thing.
February 2021 my attorney told me to do an congressional inquiry which received an almost immediate response from the Army medical review board stating that my case is “under-going post board reviews” I don’t know what that means.
March 2021 my attorney emailed the board for an update this was the response “
Ma'am,
I cannot provide a specific timeline for completion, but can assure you that the case is being processed as quickly as possible.
You and your client will be notified directly once a decision has been rendered and finalized. Again, we appreciate your patience during this process.
Very respectfully,

I have a POC (just a nice lady who was willing to help) at the PDBR who said my case hasn’t reach her office yet, but it could possibly be there but not entered yet to be worked.
Does anyone have any experiences with the board dealing with wrongly diagnosed personality disorder cases that have turned to medical retirement?
Any help given is appreciated
