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?
One of the questions on the class 1 is have you been medically discharged from the military or something like that. You can probably get a better understanding of what you are up against by looking at the FAA website form.
