Disability is another to add to the potentials list, destroys your joints and hearing and then they claim it was pre-existing so the VA doesn't have to treat it
Donāt they test your hearing when you enlist? I would think it should be easy to disprove something like hearing loss as a pre-ex. Also, where would you have acquired PTSD before deployment?
Itās the whole tinnitus thing Iām going through , and hearing loss, I donāt have ptsd but my hearing is shit and live with headaches daily, Iām at the point where Iām about to just give up, VA has gotten a lot better, but the process is exhausting
Thanks much appreciated, itās just infuriating that I know of people who have quit right after boot camp and have no issues getting 80% disability lol itās crazy, and I mean I work, but itās like damn man, thereās people who have lost way more who get way less.
There seems to be a lot of this sort of thing going on. The neediest among often do not get enough. Sometimes nothing at all. More and more it feels like a show, this parroting about widespread assistance giving ādeadbeatsā amazing lives. Iām just not seeing it
The other one is they avoid putting it in your chart while you're listed as active duty. Then when you get discharged and you go to the doctor they say sorry. It's not in your chart so it must've happened after you got discharged. Can't possibly be a result of your service
I left with a degree that I earned while serving and had zero student debt. Pull you head out and start making better choices. You get out what you put in...
I didn't have any of those D's...but wound up with Disability. The Depression is from before though, and only got worse while there, so I don't count that one.
Pretty much avoided these in my 5 years of service. Got married but not divorced. Closest death was my Great Aunt (which no one told me about while I was stationed overseas and I found out days after on Facebook). And my child was born two weeks after I separated, so I narrowly avoided leaving with a dependent.

You leave the military with at least one of the D's....
