I’ve sent in my medical file release form to the FAA for them to send my file to the neuropsychologist and they have not sent my file to them. It’s been about 2 weeks and they are ghosting my emails. What do I do?
So I posted about my recent DQ letter and I’m just wondering how do you even begin the appeal? And once you’ve began what do you neeed to do within the 60 days? Is everything on you? Or do they give you instructions?
Just received my DQ letter. They said because I took ADHD meds (7yo-10yo) (I’m 29 and have not taken any since and had no problems).
Also said because I had a depression diagnosis (my mother and grandmother passed away in the same year) 3 years ago that I have been cleared of 2 years ago and have not taken medicine.
Also because I have sleep apnea and my machine usage isn’t over 6 hours (although they said they can accept less than 6hrs with an ahi less than 3, mine is 1.12).
Basically just wanting to know if I should let it go or try the appeal process.
I recently got a follow up phone call from the psychologist that evaluated me. She was asking very personal questions about a specific time frame about 3 years ago when I was put on meds for depression/ anxiety. I explained to her I did not have anxiety but normal symptoms of mild depression like most Americans these days. It was initially stated that it was a preventative for losing a loved one but she thinks based on the symptoms reported by the doctor it was full blown depression. I have not taken these meds since that time frame and have no reported depression symptoms since that time. Long story short I just wanna know what my chances look like at this point. Not feeling very optimistic anymore.
