I have Diabetes Type II. While on active duty, 78-92, I did get sent to Walter Reed for some type of test and was found to have nephritis (sp). That doctor kept asking if I had diabetes in my family, which I did not. Again, while pregnant, I was asked the same thing. That doctor told me I probably had the beginnings of diabetes; however, don't tell anyone and to exercise and lay off the starch.
I got off active duty in 92 and went into the reserves. In 2004, I had an army physical and was found to have diabetes. I went through a medical board and was found fit to stay in the program. The diabetes got worse, and in 2010, I was issued a profile which stated the diabetes, plus no field rations. I was also informed that I was not qualified to serve anymore, so I retired.
My question is, can I file a claim as the condition worsened over the years, or should I just leave it alone?
thanks,
