Ets Physical

Rate this question


Gulfvet

Question

1. For every member of the military ETSing or retiring. You will be given a final out physical. At that physical tell them about every ache, pain, concern, etc. This is the last chance for the military member to officially document medical problems, thereby making the issue in-service! Tell them about rashes, hair loss, scratches, scrapes, itchy ass cheeks…EVERYTHING!...LAST CHANCE!

OK, I have many problems associated with the gulf war that I did not go on sick call for, but they are all mentioned in my ETS physical. Are you saying that even if I didn't go on sick call for something I can use my ETS physical as evidence for a claim?

If you can show that you have been getting continuous treatment for conditions noted on your ETS physical then I think you are good to go on being able to service connect them. You have to have a medical statement saying that the condition you suffer from now is related to the condition noted on ETS. Those are the three legs of a disability claim with the VA. You had it in service. You have it now and it is related to your service.

Then you can't use your ETS physical, as evidence, and will need to rely on any other evidence of record.
