As I understand it, although we are still waiting on my Son's Medical Qualification so this is my best assessment of the situation. Dodmets receives all your exams and then sends them on to DODMerb, who will then send it to your branch with any potential Disqualifies. The Branch will then either waive those, or request Additional Medical Information. Your Branch will make the final decision if they are going to allow waivers which then qualify you. Currently I believe all communications are coming through email while the DoDMERB website is down. I have heard it takes 2-4 weeks to hear anything, with most being closer to the 4 week mark, maybe longer right now.
