Gents, I appreciate your candid and informative discussion. I posted in another related thread here . In addition, I see some of the Docs here have Facebook pages for their homepage. I would feel a bit awkward directly messaging a doc questions about medicals- I am sure it happens all to often. Would any of you be willing to give me your opinion on my "disabilities" from the VA and let me know what to expect? I am not sure I am comfortable listing them all on here. Lastly, in the other thread it seemed some were simply checking yes in the disability question in block 18 and it stopped there. I can't imagine you don't have to explain the disability rating. More importantly what documentation will the AME need from me. Thanks in advance. This website is one the best tools for our community in the world.
