This person was medically retired recently from the Air force. The person does have disabilities from the military, and he went to a military board. The Air force told him that they were going to file his papers with the V.A.. I thought that this seemed strange for them to do this. He has not filed any V.A. claims himself yet. I have read through his records and most of his disability was self inflicted while he was off duty. This person dove into a pool and hurt his back bad. This person also had a motorcycle wreck while he was in the military. He was put on light duty for just about the entire time after his back injury. I can not see anything in his records that indicate the military doing anything wrong to cause his disability to get worse. They even stated in the discharge that he could not perform his duties, because of the pain medication that he was on. This person does have some things that would be service connected. I am stumped on getting him service connected on the back injuries, because he dove into a pool while off duty. I am looking at the fact that he was in the military when this happened and they might not have done everything that they could to help him. I am very stumped at the fact that they medically retired him on all of the disabilities that he did while on and off duty. I know that I am being vague about some of the stuff, but this is a little complicated. Do I try to file for disability on everything just to see how they look at it? This medical retirement is really messing with me. He was only in for 7 years. :) <_< B)
