Eating disorder waiver or rebuttal?

[dshakey96]

My medical waiver for the naval academy was denied because I had an eating disorder after the age of 13, even though it no longer exists. Does anyone know if it is possible to receive a rebuttal for this condition, and the steps that should be taken?

I can't speak for the Navy, but the Army has a key phrase called "history." If you have a "history" of an eating disorder (current or past), that falls into a behavioral disorder. The Army RARELY waives behavioral disorders. I can only imagine the Navy is more strict than the Army.

I think your best bet is to call DoDMERB directly and ask them. All DQs are handled on a case-by-case basis, so even if someone failed trying a rebuttal, it doesn't mean you would.
