0 Richard1954 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It sounds to me as if the Military did more harm to your shoulder , if your still having problems because of what Military medical personal did you should be able to get a service connected rating. But before you do anything with the VA.. you really should check on getting your discharge upgraded to a medical discharge, since the military made the condition worse. They should not have been able to just toss you out without consideration of a medical discharge. You could have a real fight on your hands, but one worth fighting. And yes you can get a medical discharge for conditions you had before service occurred or if the condition was aggravated by military service - ( aggravated means you went in with a condition and your military service made it worse.) ShrekTheTank 1 I am not a lawyer so take my opinions with a grain of salt... If I had listened to the nay sayers, I would never have acheived any ratings after I was awarded TDIU in 1999. Now I have not one but two 100% ratings, a TDIU and 4 SMC awards !

0 Realcooldude Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 It was a dislocated shoulder one time in high school and three times in basic I had to get a waiver. The last time my arm got broken trying to relocate it after convalescent leave I was given chapter 11 epts els discharge by the same major who tried unsuccessfully to relocate it. Also he said that the waiver was in place for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
