Medical Disqualifying for OCS

[stran]

I recently used the form DD2808 (Report of Medical Examination) for my physical exam. On line 73 Notes (Lab) there is a block for Hepatitis C (HCV). Would I be disqualifying for OCS if I am HCV positive? I did a research online but couldn't find any information on this. Please help.This is the last thing I need to do before submitting my package.

Thanks.

chronic hepatitis, persistent symptoms, persistent impairment of liver functions, or hepatitis carrier state is disqualifying. History of hepatitis in the preceding 6 months is disqualifying. History of viral hepatitis, that has totally resolved is not disqualifying.

Feddoc,

Thank you for the information. Is it possible to request the waiver for HCV? What is the chance of getting the waiver granted?

I don't know if it is possible for a waiver. Impossible if you don't ask.
