Washington, DC — April 1, 2025 — The Law Offices of David P. Sheldon announces a successful challenge to a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) determination on behalf of a Commissioned Corps Officer. Following submission of an Officer Response Form requesting a Full & Fair Hearing with the Medical Appeals Board, the USPHS found the officer unfit for duty, not due to his misconduct, but due to his service-connected disability. This allows him to earn his rightfully owned retirement benefits and corresponding VA benefits.
“When military service results in a disability, which prevents a service-member from finishing their career, they are entitled to compensation for that disability and to the retirement benefits they have rightfully earned,” said Senior Military Defense Attorney Annie Morgan. “We’re proud to have secured this fitness‑for‑duty determination, ensuring our client will have the resources – both financial and medical – to properly treat his service-connected disability moving forward.”
