Greetings,
My daughter applied for USCGA and NROTC, of which DoDMERB DQ'd her for an undocumented "history of congenital hip dislocation". She was diagnosed at three months old as having a 2CM leg discrepancy. Nothing else related to her hip or spine. She had an outpatient corrective surgery on her leg when she was a child and her doctor reiterated she had made a complete recovery without any complications. This corrected her 2CM leg discrepancy. We researched and compiled all related medical records for this and even went back to her original Orthopedic doctor this last February and he reexamined her - noting in the medical report of no history of congenital hip dislocation. Additionally, the doctor stated her hips, spine and legs are completely normal. She is exceptionally active in Lacrosse and is the current CO of the USMC JROTC program in her Senior year, of which she participates in rigorous PT every morning and afternoon. She has never experienced any problems with her spine, hip, or leg. We have attempted contacting DoDMERB, but that has gone nowhere. We are fearful that this will become a discriminator from her candidacy of the USCG, or NROTC application process. With a lack of correspondence, She is becoming doubtful this will ever be resolved.
Please let us know what else we may do to support this false assessment.
Thank you for your support.
Respectfully,
-Roger
