Help Please! How To Add A New Condition To An Meb

[a.ballard.usn]

I am currently going through the proccess of an MEB for a corneal scar in my left eye. (In need of transplant) I just recently got seen by a flight surgeon, which he refferred me to a mental health clinic. From there I talked to a psychiatric provider. I went and got a copy of all of his doctor notes, and it states he thinks I have moderate bi - polar / anxiety issues. I go back for a follow up this upcoming Tuesday. HERES THE CATCH: my last VA appointment is tomorrow. What would I need to do to add this new condition in with my MEB? Any help you be greatly appreciated.

The ability to add a condition lies with your PCP. Also, those conditions would have to be unfitting for duty and severe/persistent as to cause inability to fully perform duties. You can ask your PCP, but that's about it. Another thought - you can appeal the MEB and go forward to the PEB with the contentions you feel should be presented, although I don't know if this would be successful. Heres a site with a lot of folks dealing with MEB/PEB issues:

I didn't search so I'm not quite sure - post a topic. There's a former JAG that went through the process and others as well that can be a wealth (just like HADIT!)
