That’s nonsense. A disqualifying VA disability (ie., not just flat feet) that wasn’t reported IS CERTAINLY a trigger for the FAA in their files. And I repeat, their hired help medical looking for significant medical issues MUST retain “secrecy” of patient medical records until the person being investigated has had an opportunity to address any medical issues identified. I mean, what if the disability is the person is paranoid and delusional. You of all people ought to not want such a diagnosis stated openly without a chance to defend yourself…😉
