I’m a bit worried I may have accidentally lied at MEPS. So i took adhd meds my freshman year of college however I never had an IEP or 504 plan in high school. In that year i got test accommodations and therapy from the school, I called and asked the disability office and they told me that accommodations did not count as an IEP or 504. I also asked my recruiter and he said that didn’t count as an IEP or 504 and to leave it out at MEPS. Now I’m feeling worried because I feel like these accommodations really would be something they would want to know about and I’m fearful now that this will bite me in the butt and honestly it’s weighing on my conscience.
If you were prescribed medication or a doctor said you had ADHD you have to disclose, it doesn't matter if you didn't have an IEP or anything else. It goes back to the medical questionnaire where they ask "Have you ever had or do you have now" and one of the questions is specific to ADHD, in addition since you were prescribed meds it will almost certain pull up via genesis.As long as you were complete and honest with what you told your recruiter, and they told you it didn't count and to leave it out, then I would not sweat it. The worst that will possibly happen is they will just tell you no.
