med retirement

What’s happening to me is the result of a misdiagnosis that was never corrected inside the system. Despite new medical evidence, despite my ability to perform my duties, and despite the fact that the diagnosis doesn’t match my actual medical history, the process kept moving forward. Once the...

Good Afternoon I'm new here so forgive me. I recently retired medically at 70% DOD and 80% VA. I went with the VA compensation for the tax free option and it was more convenient for me. Either way I received what I believe was my final active duty check on March 30th. My final active duty day...

I have question in regard to changing my honorable discharge to medically retired. I’m not even sure if this is possible, but as the main reason I left the army was for medical reasons I believe that it’s worth a shot. I currently receive 70% rating from the VA from service connected injuries...
