<p>I got DQ’ed for “instability of the shoulder.”</p>
<p>I sent DoDMERB documentation from my orthopedic surgeon stating that no such instability exists anymore (it was all surgically corrected on July 27, 2005) and that my recovery has been 100%. I have full range-of-motion, stability, and strength. Yet, DoDMERB just decided to ignore this information and categorized my DQ as “non-rebuttable.”</p>
<p>My question is, does having a nomination increase my chances of being waived? I have an LOA, and just last week, I found out that I received a nomination from my senator (Jon Corzine - NJ).</p>
