DQ for history of OCD - shouldn't a unit-written observation and letter be sufficient?

[john.sor77]

Recently, I was disqualified for having a "history of obsessive-compulsive disorder". While I am again in the waiver process and have submitted all AMI already, this is my second disqualification. I submitted full counselor notes, an update from my counselor saying that she never thought about referring me to a psychiatrist, and that I was thriving and doing well at school and in my ROTC unit. More importantly, my unit staff submitted a progress report on my military aptitude and standing within the unit - shouldn't this letter be sufficient? Isn't what matters most that any possible medical issue one can have doesn't impact their military fitness and activities in any way? Please let me know, thank you.

Sufficient for what?
A DoDMERB change in decision? No..."History of."
Waiver? Probably not, but it will go a long way to assisting you.

Thank you for your response, Sir. I meant sufficient for becoming medically qualified, but I understand what you mean. I will email you right now.
