Hi Sir,
I posted this in here, but ran across your post. Any guidance is appreciated.

My son has received nominations to West Point and the Naval Academy. During the DoDMERB process, we disclosed his history of childhood seizures. They were relatively minor in nature, staring off for a short period and an occasional night event when he would wet the bed. He was on medication for them. His last seizure was in 2013 and he has been off all medication since 2015. Again, all of this was disclosed during the initial medical screening paperwork and subsequent physical exam. We received notice to provide all medical records, EEG/MRI Results, and all Prescription information from birth through current. They then sent back a request for him to undergo current EEG as well as have a consultation with a DoD approved Neurologist, which we completed. The EEG was similar to previous images. The Neurologist did a through exam and additional testing and approved him for service with not restriction or reservation. Within a few days of DoDMERB receiving the info from the Neurologist, he was disqualified due to having "atraumatic seizures after the age of 6. This triggered an automatic waiver review through at the Academies. Navy is still pending, but my son received a final denial from West Point today. I'm guessing that Navy will be following.

Is there an appeals process for waiver denials of this type?
Would apply to an ROTC Scholarship as well?
Is there a process or avenue by which he may still service in the military, either enlisted or officer with this past history, the denials, but with an approval from a Neurologist?

Any help is appreciated.
