PCOS is generally well managed with changes to diet and sometimes medications. Sometimes the medications may limit deployability and/or require waivers, but there is no specific requirement to refer PCOS for an MEB.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 19 at 2021 4:36 AM2021-08-19T04:36:36-04:002021-08-19T04:36:36-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member7247030<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All medical authority in med board rests outside of the command.
