I got diagnosis of diabetes in AIT

[Deannnnn]

Hi I’m in AIT now and recently I got diagnosis of diabetes. And doctor said it’s EPTS and I can’t get any disability benefits cuz it’s not army fault. But I went through MEPS, they didn’t find any of this. Of course I didn’t know that I had diabetes. The reason why I went to clinic and checked my blood cuz I felt really tried during my leave and I had some symptoms about diabetes so I bought a device and checked blood myself. It wasn’t normal tho. that’s why I wanted to make sure with army doctor. I’ll be kicked out soon. So in this case, is it hard to get VA disability benefits?

Update————

thank u all for giving me good ideas. I’m active duty and on March 5th is gonna be 180days.

Hi Deannnn Sorry to hear of your illness. Most importantly, seek treatment and try to manage your symptoms; it is life altering and can be life threatening. I might be wrong on this but if you research I believe you must have an event or illness only after 90 days of active duty. If you are in AIT,  you aren't considered Active yet. Google VA healthcare requirements. Unfortunately, I don't believe you have much chance of getting it s-c. Sorry; good luck to you.

Thank you for applying it back! Yeah I will research more about this and I’ll do my best to get it done
