Hello All,
I am RegAF with 21 years of active duty service. However, I still have a few years left on my enlistment due to an ADSC. My psychiatrist will be referring me to the AMRO for a medical board soon (mental health issues). I am at a point where I can't do my job anymore and have issues with isolating myself from everyone (including my wife and kids). I have been dealing with my mental health issues for over a decade now.
Any idea on what my medical board outcome would possibly be? (Example: DoD, VA percentage, TDRL or PDRL, etc.)
My issues that I plan on submitting for a VA disability claim are as follows (all service connected):
- Major Depressive Disorder, recurrent severe with chronic insomnia and anxiety (suicidal ideations on a regular basis and one recent suicide attempt requiring inpatient hospitalization). Also, had partial hospitalization treatment recently as well.
- Erectile dysfunction (while being on antidepressants).
- Dislocation fingers closed right thumb MCP (torn ligament). Arthritis and gripping issues with right hand.
- Pseudofolliculitis barbae since basic training (face). Shaving waiver required throughout my career.
- Keloid bumps on back of neck and head that developed after haircut in basic training.
- Tendonitis flexor hallucis longus (right foot injury).
- Eczematoid dermatitis/Lichen simplex chronicus.
- Borderline glaucoma open angle with cupping of optic discs both eyes.
- Acute recurrent maxillary sinusitis.
- Headache syndromes.
- Lower left lip and chin paresthesia (numbness and permanent nerve damage) after wisdom teeth extraction (6 teeth).
- Mild osteoarthritis of the right temporomandibular joint. Issues with bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching teeth.
- Prostatitis chronic bacterial.
- Flat foot acquired (pes planus).
- Periodontitis (neglected hygiene during a deployment due to major depression/insomnia). Deep cleaning required every 4 months for teeth.
- Hypertension (as high as 144/97).
- Lower back injury pain that flares up on occasion.
