Hello,
I am a current pilot. However, I incurred military service injuries after I became a civilian pilot. I received VA disability after that. After I tried to renew my first class, which included my reporting my VA disability to the FAA, I was denied a first class medical because of Chronic pain, IBS, and fatigue. I got chronic pain syndrome and I recovered from fatigue and got IBS after a military service back injury and long covid that occurred simultaneously. I take diclofenac for chronic pain and bisacodyl for IBS. I do not take any medications for fatigue. I submitted all documentation when I initially applied for a first class medical. All the doctors put in my medical documents that I submitted that all my medical conditions were stable, that I was not on any opioid medication for pain, and that my IBS and fatigue are completely cleared.
I then submitted a letter for reconsideration. But, it has been past 2 months since I requested reconsideration. Do I have a chance to be approved? Does anyone have experience in these areas? How long does it take? What is the process? I have a lot of questions
