My son's information just showed up on DoDMERB with the following:
Current Medical Status: Application Under DoDMERB Review
R252.30 - DD Form 2379, Statement of History Regarding Head Injury(ies)
D155.40 - Distant visual acuity that does not correct to an acceptable standard
He has not received anything in writing from DoDMERB, is there anything he should be doing now.
For the head injury should I complete the head injury form on the DoDMERB website, would I need to obtain hospital records. In competition he lost consiousness for less than 30 seconds, they insisted he go to the hospital, where he was released within an hour with no medical tests.
For the Vision currently his prescription is (-4.5). I read the thread about Navy Vision disqualification, but this is a little different code than the 20/20. IS USMA requirements any different, and what is acceptable standards. I found the Vision form on the website, should I make an appointment now to take him to his optometrist? If so which parts of the form to complete and does my son need to leave contacts out for 3 days again?
Thanks for answering all the questions on this forum!
