You were lucky. I have 6 things driving a SI, 2 required SODA. All done and in place long before I separated. FAA knows about things the VA denies are wrong with me.
Still got caught up in the witch hunt. They wanted proof I didnt lose consciousness in a car accident when I was 3. (Superficial head wound. Bad car accident when a drunk driver ran a red light, broadsided my family, dad was active duty so it ended up in my file somehow)
They wanted a sworn statement from my mother and brother that I didn't lose consciousness. In 1981.
I told the FAA to f off (via amas) on that one. Not going to make my elderly mother relive the worst day of her life. My brother, who was 5, still has health isdues stemming from the accident. (Bad head injury. He still is dealing with the after effects at times)
