If the Medical Board denies my application, what options do I have?

If you disagree with the Medical Board's findings, you may request that a Special Medical Committee review the Medical Board's recommendations. TRS must receive your request within 30 days of the date you receive the transcript of your exam. If you apply for this review, you must pay half the cost of the medical fees incurred and you would waive your rights to pursue your case in any other forum. Another option, if you have new evidence for your case, is to reapply for a disability retirement. In addition, if you had applied for an accident disability retirement application and were denied, you may file for an ordinary disability retirement instead.
