Based on what I've read in this thread, the only carryover from Active Duty medical records to FAA medical records is if you are receiving benefits from the govt for any disability, correct? Let's say you are medically discharged from AD, can you turn down disability in hopes of not highlighting yourself on an FAA medical exam?

I have an issue that precludes me from running long distances so I've been on a profile for a while for PT tests. The MEB hasn't even been brought up yet, but I'm just trying to look ahead in case it is brought up. I don't really care about the money for the disability, but I do care about highlighting myself in any way to an FAA doc.

Or, maybe a better question: Is there a list somewhere that spells out what is and is not allowed for a Class 1 medical?
