Inactive Ready Reserve And Service-connection

[Vync]

Some soldiers joined the military and, for example, served 4 years on active duty and 4 years in the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR). Basically, soldiers in the IRR do not get paid, do not attend reserve drills, but are subject to being called to active duty just like regular reservists.

If a medical condition is diagnosed while a soldier is serving in the IRR, can they request service-connection of the condition?

I sincerely doubt it, unless it carried over from active duty. jmo

No sir, if you were drilling or performing AT and the illness occured then you would be able to. You are even covered during your commute to and from if actively drilling.
