Current Active Soon To Be Veteran - Entitlement - Veterans Compensation Benefits Claims - VA Disability Claims Community Forums - Hadit.comJump to content
I am currently under 1 year of Active army duty, I have been having issues with my knees, legs, shins and my hips. I have been getting evaluated for the same. Doctors are unable to determine the exact cause and its been going on for over 4 months with no changes to my condition. Doctors have recommended considering medmoard and I would like to proceed with the same but due to family issue I am looking forward to early discharge as MedBoard will take over an year. Most probably I am getting Administrative discharge. My question is Can I still apply for disability once I am out of the army on Admin discharge. If yes, what documents do I retain or collect from doctors which will be helpful with the process. Also, I would appreciate if you can guide me on how to get started with process once I am chaptered out.
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. Soon to be Veteran!
Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons …Continue reading

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am currently under 1 year of Active army duty, I have been having issues with my knees, legs, shins and my hips. I have been getting evaluated for the same. Doctors are unable to determine the exact cause and its been going on for over 4 months with no changes to my condition. Doctors have recommended considering medmoard and I would like to proceed with the same but due to family issue I am looking forward to early discharge as MedBoard will take over an year. Most probably I am getting Administrative discharge. My question is Can I still apply for disability once I am out of the army on Admin discharge. If yes, what documents do I retain or collect from doctors which will be helpful with the process. Also, I would appreciate if you can guide me on how to get started with process once I am chaptered out.
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. Soon to be Veteran!
Thank you once again!
