I had to send in the results of some labwork to DoDMERB a while back due to protein being found in my urine during the initial physical. The new tests were positive for protein, but after a 24-hour volume test, etc., my personal physician diagnosed it as benign orthostatic proteinuria. Well, I recently received a letter from DoDMERB again saying that I had been disqualified due to a history of proteinuria(this was, ironically, the only urinalysis in my whole life that was ever amiss). The letter also said that my info would be automatically forwarded to BUMED for waiver consideration. Now, my questions are:
1.) Do I need to talk to my doctor again and see what supporting evidence he can send in?
2.) How long does the waiver process for this usually take? Whether granted or denied a waiver, will I hear in one month, or three?
Can anyone offer their wisdom? Thanks!
