HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted January 19, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 19, 2007 Nope I think day one is the time or sooner if you know when. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrewer Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Pete, "sooner if you know when" You can't file for it, if you're still working...right? sbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Vike17 Posted January 19, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 19, 2007 sbrewer, Pete is correct, there is no set time frame. The minute you loose your job because of a service-connected disability and can show medical evidence that you're unable to obatin and maintain further employment do to your service-connected disabilities, you should file the VA Form 21-8940.

sbrewer Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sorry to keep asking so may questions....but What if you take a medical retirement(federal service). would that have any effect on IU? sbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Vike17 Posted January 19, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 19, 2007 No, actually it should help the IU claim as long as the reason for having to take medical retirement was due to your service-conected disabilities.

cloudcroft Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 sbrewer, No, no time limit. In fact, you can even still be employed and file.
