Hey Berta. They haven't determinded a separation date yet. Im still in my 10 day window following the findings from the informal board. I haven't been to any briefings or talked to anyone on base. I have personally kept a copy of every medical appointment and their paper work since it happened. I also just put in for a copy of my medical records. Im going to talk to a health benefits advisor tomorrow, but the legal department still hasn't gotten back to me so im not really sure how this all works. The VA part is becoming more clear, but what about the AF part?

This week I was told I will be medically seperated from the USAF. My informal medical board came back with a 10% rating. I think that they are trying to cheat me. I was stung by a scorpion while in basic training. They gave me antibiotics for it and was sent on my way, the swelling and pain kept coming back so I went into flight med. They proceeded to "drain" the mass in my leg, and after two surguries found out it was a soft tissue cancer. My third and final surgury left my leg with permanent damage. Please help, I don't know where to go to from here and who to talk to about it.
