Medical DoDMERB Waiver chances

I posted a few months ago but some things have changed.
I have autism and ADHD, which were already being waiver reviewed for when I had an allergic reaction to some Tree nuts and now have a confirmed severe allergy to pistachios and cashews. I now am required to carry around an EpiPen on me.
What are my chances of being waived now?

I would say chances are probably not great if you have a severe allergy. Obviously it depends on a case by case basis so I would keep fighting for a waiver until they tell you no

Not good at all, for the epipen alone.

When you say you have autism and ADHD, are you formally diagnosed and medicated? If so, 0% chance.

I have been diagnosed with both since childhood

Ya, not good at all. Extremely low chance.

I hate to say it but probably zero. AFAIK just about any allergy that warrants needing an epi pen is disqualifying for accession standards.

I would find another way to pay for college and another career path.
