This is not how DODMERB works. DODMERB works in black and white. They need to know if you have EVER had certain conditions - and they proceed from there. Lots of folks are disqualified for conditions from which they are recovered.Or DoDMERB did not make a mistake. Difficulty recovering from an injury doesn't mran you're not recovered.
The DODMERB medical history form (dd2492) asks:
Have you ever had or do you now have:
18. Periods of unconciousness
19. Head injury or skull fracture.
From what the OP is telling us - he has had these two conditions. Even if he got a concussion when he was 4 years old - the answer to #19 is yes.
Once DODMERB gets the physical and this form they make a determination. IF the OP answered "yes" to #18 and/or #19 DODMERB would have asked for a questionaire, asked for remedials and then made a determination on Medical Qualification.
I am concerned that perhaps the OP did not understand or complete the medical history form correctly. Clearly there is a disconnect between the quick medical qualification and the injuries the OP is claimed to have received.
