DODMERB Concerns

We are going through this process for almost the same thing with my son who is Army ROTC. It's interesting each branch seems to request different things. His AMI included a request for all treatment records related to Asthma, even though he never was diagnosed with Asthma, just possible Reactive Airway and used an inhaler occasionally several years ago. They also requested an appointment with a Pulmonologist and the Pulmonary Function Test with pre and post bronchodilator. They did not ask for pharmacy records, although he did request them to have on hand. I would be sure you are getting the proper Pulmonary Function Test done as there are different ones to evaluated these conditions. An appointment with a Pulmonary Doctor takes some time to get. Most offices are at least a month out, and the Dodmets provided one, which we elected to go with to be sure we were getting exactly what they wanted, is over 2 months out. I'm not sure if this helps you or not, but just sharing what our experience has been. Congratulations on your appointment!

Capt MJ,

Thank you for your advice and knowledge on the whole process.
My daughter received an AROTC scholarship and is working through the DODMERB stuff now. We received all of her medical records through the military since I am active duty. Pretty easy. We are flagging everything and making sure she fills the questionnaire out accurately and honestly.
Question:
In 2021 she was seen by a neurologist because she was experiencing tics or energy releases every once in a while. This is documented in her record, but she was never formally diagnosed or prescribed medication. Her record says…symptoms are aligned with possible Tourette’s disorder, continue to monitor. There has never been a follow up or any other issues since 2022. She was not diagnosed.
On the questionnaire she marked No since she doesn’t have a diagnosis. I don’t think that’s a problem…am I wrong?

This is way above my expertise to respond to. Perhaps @GoCubbies will pop up.
