Pending Down PES

[shawnwkk]

Hi people, I've been searching the Internet for answers, but to not avail. Hope someone can help me out here.

I'm an NSman, ORD in Sept 2009. Got eczema back in NSF time, and it lasted till today. The eczema affected my hands and legs. A condition that can be suppressed but will follow me for the rest of my life I guess. I have seen the MO back in March 2011, along with 2 specialist's memo from dermatologist and he recommended me for a perm C9L9 downgrade.

Subsequently, I have tried contacting NS hotline, wrote in to ask about my PES status (note: it has been 8 months to date). The last update I got from them is that I have been boarded in May 11 as PES B1

To date, the eczema has pretty much bothered me for the past 2 years. Recovered like 60% of it, but the other 40% come and go. I am a spec from Arty, and contact with chemicals to wash the weapons caused this. My questions are,

1) Does it take that long for my PES status to be released? Has anyone encountered longer?

2) What are the chances of my getting perm down pes? Not that I wanna geng, but I would say what we do for combat will affect me and definitely aggravate the condition and make it worse.

Thanks in advance and pardon the WOT.

Hi reddevil, in fact I have been chasing them since June. With 3 - 4 emails and calls during this period of time. It seems too long for me, I've seen the MO since late March, and no updates to date. Has anyone experienced the same?

Hi Shawn

I'm also suffering from a full body eczema.. mine is since 2006 during my last year of NS... my eczema is quite serious, on my back my arms, my elbow, my butt, my tights, and etc.. full body..

May i know which specialist you went to? I went to NSC since 2006 and no luck in downgrading.. During NSC I went for the skin test, they cut off a piece of skin from me, and test it.. but nothing is done after that, just tell me it's eczema.

I really hope you can help me.. I am previously from guards until.. and everytime i go back reservist.. I'm been given the looks.. like a weirdo.. I want to downgrade once and for all. Thank you so much!
