Epts Discharge Army
Hello! Not sure I am putting this in the right place or even if I am in the right forum. Please forgive. As a mother of a son who wanted to be a soldier, I am here. Long story short, son joined the Army Reserves. Went off to AIT Aug 14 2008. Week 12 of AIT (of 14 weeks) called and said he had nerve damage in his feet and was put in the Medical Holding unit. Needless to say, no graduation for him. Today he called and said he was being medicially discharged. Injury EPTS. He said that his webbed toes (yes, he has two of them on each foot) and the bone structure of his feet made this an injury that existed prior to service. Now, excuse me. But he has never b…

Varicose Sele
I had a surgical procedure while on active duty during Desert storm in 1991, it was to remove a varicose sele. It caused me pain in my legs, mostly my left. I had difficulty standing or sitting for periods of time. I knew nothing of filing for disability back then, nor did I care. But since then the pain in my legs has started back and the discomfort, stress is back again. I have a occupation where I am on my feet most of the day. And the pain is killing me. Can I file now for that procedure or am I wasting my time. Thanks

Multiple Disabilities
Hello, I believe that such question have been asked before but I was looking around and was lost in an ocean of information without a specific answer. If one has 30% disability and is granted 10% for a secondary disability (related to the primary disability) as far as payment/benefit is concerned should one receive 40% or the equivalent to 10% added up to 30%? thanks tk3000

ptsd What The Hell...
Ok so last Friday I received a letter from the VA telling me that my disability rating had been increased to 100%. I went down to the PH VSP office to get a letter for the local AF Post so that I could get on and get my new CAC card and was told that my 100% was temporary and thus my wife and children do not get any health insurance. The kids are on Med. But the State office says that my VA disability is to high and is considered as unearned income. Go figure I thought I earned it. Anyway. They tell me that I do not get px/commissary privileges or anything. I am glad to have the extra money. I DO NOT plan on reporting the increase. This will most likely come back to bite …
