I was diagnosed as diabetic within months of my return from a year long deployment to Iraq. I was put out of the national guard because of the diabetes a few years later after fighting the med board. The diabetes was not considered service connected by the guard. I’m trying to get that service connected over ten years later. Is that possible?
What about a reservist who goes on annual training, and experiences a traumatic experience witnessing death?
Look I am 6 year reservist . Never under order active duty . Except for my three months of school training, and two weeks out of the year for training I have an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps reserves .However in boot camp the Doctor wrote down hearing loss in my medical Jacket . I was in boot camp 2 weeks before graduation gulf war started . Active duty two weeks when the gulf war started .I met the VA criteria to qualify as a vet because I was on active duty for one day during a time of war . I thought for 30 years I was not entitle for VA benefits . In 2019 I was directly service connected for hearing loss and tinnitus . This opened up my secondary condition with Nexus letter, which gave me 100% permanent total disability rating from the VA. I was very lucky the Navy doctor wrote those exact words in my medical jacket . Learn about secondary and get nexus letter . Took me 4 years to be PT 100 . Learn the law 38 cfr . My hearing was a struggle in the Corps . Reservist can be a 100. PT under the law .
Where you called up by Presidential orders or title 10 as a reservist ?
@@jimmywalters3071 No but on active duty in bootcamp . Gulf War was declare . I had hearing loss . It was written in my medical jacket . So I qualified under the VA for VA benefits.
@@americaawesome8271 I would think the military would disqualify you as a recruit and send you back home from bootcamp. I was in Iceland when the war broke out in 91.. but returned back to the states in 3 weeks
@@jimmywalters3071 Gulf War Veterans
More than 650,000 Service members served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm from August 2, 1990 to July 31, 1991. For VA benefits eligibility purposes, the Gulf War period is still in effect. This means that anyone who served on active duty from August 2, 1990, to present is considered a Gulf War Veteran. For example, the Veterans Pension benefit requires service during a wartime period. Therefore, any Veteran who served on active military service for any period from August 2, 1990, to the present meets the wartime service requirement .
@@americaawesome8271 Sadly when I was in Iceland during this time when the war broke out .. I was on training orders.
I am a National Guard Soldier who was placed on Title 32 502(f) Active Duty for Covid Operations. I was on Title 32 502(f) Active Duty for 2 years ( June 2019 until June 2022 ). On November 11, 2019, the VA sent me to do a Sleep Study. Then, I was admitted to do a Sleep Study for Fitting in February 2020. Thus, I was Diagnosed with OSA at that time. Finally, in October 2021, the VA issued me an actual CPAP Machine. As you can see, all of these took place while I was on Active Duty. My Struggle is understanding 'Why did the VA denied my Claim for Sleep Apnea for Service Connection? During my filing, I submitted my Task-Force-Covid DD214, My Medical Profile which contained Sleep Apnea, and the Sleep Study Notes. Still, they denied my Claim. Please help me with this ? As a fellow Veteran can you please give me some advice on going forward with this?.......Am I not considered Service Connected because I was on Title 32(f) ?
Question 1: Do you have any title 10 orders? ( You should have at least 1, when you went to boot camp; any other ones?
2: Do you have any LOD’s?
3: When you go do your 2-week Inactive Duty training, have you ever gotten hurt for anything?
If in the Army NG and on active duty title 10 orders from meps for training, but already a veteran from prior service, then how will my illness be looked at by the VA? This is a fight I have had to deal with for the past 9 years.
Reservists undergo the same training as active duty soldiers. They are exposed to the same effects of training as active duty soldiers. They are under the same stresses and health effects as active duty soldiers. So why are Reservists and Guardsmen denied the same VA benefits that active duty soldiers receive??? I served 12 years, I have hearing loss from my 12 years of service, I have hypertensive high blood pressure from my service, I have back and joint problems from my service. And I don’t qualify for benefits??? Are you f***ing kidding me??? Typical bureaucratic bulls**t. So my Honorable Discharge Certificate is only good for toilet paper. That’s all my service was good for. Thanks for nothing. Then put me back in uniform on active duty for 2 years, I’ll be glad to do it for 2 years.
Yeah, reservist are denied , denied all the time !! I'm so sick of this . I spent 14 years in the Reserves .. and was in units that were deployed for Operation Northern Watch several times .. I was denied for VA health care because my orders were less than 30 days at a time and not title 10 .. my orders says not training orders but Special Orders , which they say is not title 10. So I don't get nothing.
@@jimmywalters3071 that’s bullshit. We swore the exact same damned oath, and we just get kicked in the teeth, like we don’t matter.
@@user-sb9fw6ui2i terrible treatment for military reservists who served but didn't retire . I served with many active units and served overseas in different conflicts, was awarded the Armed Services Expeditionary Medal .. only got out due to high year tenture .. not promoting E4's for many years in the Aviation Electronics field in the Navy Reserves. I did 14 years and I 'm treated worst than someone who did 1 or 2 years active. I don't qualify for anything.. so sad and a disgrace. I don't expect anything but its just the principle of the whole thing .. who qualifies and who doesn't .
