Question
abollman
Im looking for some advice, I am 22 and getting an honorable discharge after 4 years in the army and one deployment. I saw my PA to get a phase 2 physical today and he was strongly against me filing for compensation. He argued that it will not do any good to have a seperation physical that would not diagnose (or say i didnt have at all) some of the things i am filing with the va. Also he suggested that I do not file anything at all because if the va does not rate me for comp for my issues then I will have to list what i filed for as pre-existing medical conditions when i get medical insurance and it will make my rates skyrocket.
I have documentation for PTSD, TMJ/TMD, Migranes, Tinnitus, GERD and a chronic ankle problem and I want to file for these problems but again he argued that because i dont have 20 years in i wolnt get any compensation for my issues, in other words the va's not going to have money for my issues unless i retire.
