Remember,Carlie any injury or illness that is recorded in your SMR's that was cause by, or aggravated by your military service,but not listed as chronic, will not be service connected unless you are getting ongoing treatment after being discharged from the military, and a good IMO stating, that the illness or injury is as least as likley as not due to your military service.Don't know what the reg is,but i am sure that the VA have one.I hope this information be helpful.

Carlie, take a look at 38 CFR, Subsection 3.303 b "Chronicity and continuity."

I hope that helps.

If you file within one year of discharge you can often get SC'ed without showing long history of treatment.
