Ok guys got my medical release question sheet today for Prime but have some questions that hopefully you guys can assist with.

I am a vet as am currently still waiting for my VA screening for injuries while serving.

I have tweaked my ACL, and back while serving and also have a cough that just hasn't seemed to gone away since Iraq.

I want to list these on my sheet as I am pending with the VA but will those thing prevent me from getting DOT cleared? I don't want to not put it and then have it come up once the VA does and finalizes my stuff and I get marked with disability amounts. From the initial VA Screening its looking like 40%. None of these things have stopped me from serving the last 2 years minus them recommending that I don't go on airborne status anymore.

What should I do...or should I just not worry and just complete it accurately. I don't want to not do it accurately and then have them pull medical files and get caught on lies or told I'm disqualified from my VA claim as I stated later that they aren't issues...

Just complete it accurately, you will have a chance to go over it with the person doing the exam.
