Everyone said do your research and so I am. I came upon the MEBC
on Determing Disability 18-11 it states
Herditary and genetic conditions shall be presumed to have been incurred prior to entry into active duty. They will be presumed service aggravated unless evidence clearly establishes that the condition is solely the time result of the condition's natural progression.
Ok would this mean that someone with spina bifida occulta qualify? Especialy when DR. said the aggravation has most likely caused his back problems. Plus he has an undeveloped rib ( two birth defects ).
