Waiver process

[NCA]

DS had a mild case of Kawasaki disease while traveling internationally when he was 9yo. He was treated while out of the country and his follow up in US confirmed the success of the treatment.

Just received a DQ notice with code D102.30. How do I actually start the waiver process or is this something that happens automatically initiated by SAs?

You cannot start the waiver process. The SA will initiate the waiver process if they determine that the candidate is competitive for an appointment.

Thank you. Just saw in dodmerb website states “under waiver review.” One more question - I think I might have misstated the date of occurrence. My wife it happened 2010, not 2013. Is this something I need to get corrected somehow?

I have a question along the same lines. DoDMERB says "under waiver review" but the SA portal says "disqualified". We expected this. Will there be any indication that the SA chooses to start the waiver process or not on the portal? I know they will only start if he's competitive. Or will it display "disqualified" and we'll know if they don't close his app, I guess?

As others have stated, there is nothing you can do to directly to start the waiver process.

In the meantime (if you don't need to expend a lot of resources to do it), you can start gathering medical records because the medical waiver reviewers will want those. The international medical records may be tough to get, but the follow-ups from the US will be much easier.

The waiver authority is probably going to want a recent echocardiogram. Cardiac complications (coronary artery aneurysms and overall decreased cardiac function) need to be ruled out. The waiver authority will ask DoDMERB to get the echo for your DS. You do not need to pay for it by going through DoDMERB.

I was under the impression that "Under waiver review" means that the process has been initiated automatically by the SA, is that not the case?

For the purposes of the DQ, the date doesn't matter. The DoDI 6130.03 states "history of..." which means any time in the past, so 2010 or 2013 are DQ either way.

When you submit the medical records for waiver, the medical waiver reviewers will look to see the date of when your DS had Kawasaki's.

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure that nobody thinks that we tried to mislead the medical board. For the record, I was proven right, it was 2013, but, more importantly, my wife was wrong

Good job starting the process early to get any issues cleared up before things get busy. My youngest is still waiting to do his medical screening, but he has no issues like my other boy had.
