I have a history of ADHD and Anxiety. I met with my AME last fall for a 3rd class medical consultation and he suggested I get the ADHD test battery completed before applying in an effort to speed up the deferral process; he noted that a psychiatric eval may or may not be necessary and to see what the FAA wants to save money. I completed the battery and came back with positive results to my next appointment where we submitted my medexpress.
The timeline so far:
12/3/20 Med express submitted
12/28/20 Received demand letter asking for doctors notes and records for both diagnosis
1/28/20 Diagnosing physician wrote letter detailing diagnoses, meds, prognosis, etc. Mailed info to FAA
1/29/21 FAA received past records, doctors notes, and ADHD evaluation
Today 3/28/21: Still under review..
I’ve called numerous times and while the folks on the phone are super nice, the response is always “could be any day” “I’ll have a supervisor check on it” “better luck next week”
Does anyone have an approximate timeline for how long these have been taking? I’m tempted to just got get a psych eval because I’m tired of waiting.
