DS just received notification from Dodmerb he was determined DQ/DNM after his conditional acceptance to USCGA in Dec. He is disappointed to say the least, and would like to submit an additional letter of clarification from his doctor, who read the DQ condition requirements, and believes it does not accurately apply to him.
Just wanting to confirm our understanding of the process is correct. The DQ letter gives an email for "any questions" to a specific technician at DoD. But DS noticed the reference document from Mr. Larry Mullen states "any and all medical documents are to be submitted to usaf.usafa.dodmerb.mbx.helpdesk@mail.mil. Do not submit duplicates to a Service Academy, ROTC program, or anywhere else."
1. So just checking which or both emails he should send to? And he should not copy his AO on any of this correspondance/info, correct?
2. The doctor told DS that he used the code even though he doesn't actually believe it applies because he "had to have a code to submit to insurance", eg. the diagnosis was reported principally for clerical reasons he seems to be saying. What would be the best way to address this? DS feels caught by insurance rules/clerical issues rather than a true medical history.
(And yes, DS plans to take the lead and be the contact with Dodmerb on this, but I did offer to do some process verification for him first since he takes 8 classes, finals next week and 2 swim practices most days ;-) )
Thanks for any help you can provide. Just hopeful to finally get things official and be able to buy plane tickets for AEP asap.
