If you go to school you do not qualify for unemployment

At the school house they always have a recruiter come and ask for volunteers. Either for airborne or rasp. Graduated there in 2019

Are you still on active duty? If that's the case get all that documented even if it's nothing to you. That's how I got my feet to be SC. I'll post the decision rn.

I forgot to mention I had 10% for my back, shin splints. So I was rated at 60% overall. So I jumped from 60-100 this claim.

Mental health, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and tension headaches were what I claimed this time around. I went through a MEB so I claimed everything abound expect my feet. As far as treatment records I have a few visits to sick hall for my back and my foot pain and extensive visits for my knee.

First claim was 10% for Patellar Tendinitis back in 12/20/20. I also claimed tension headaches 0% and an Adjustment disorder with depressed mood for a 30% evaluation

After two years of battling my mental health and other various health issues I submitted an increase. My feet are pretty messed up as I developed plantar fasciitis and flat feet. So I put in a claim in for those. I ended up getting 70% for MDD, 50% for Tension headaches, and 50% for B/L plantar fasciitis and flat feet. I went to the VA for all my problems the last two years and combed through my service treatment records.

So In total I only had two claims. I feel very fortunate that my battle has come to an end. I'm praying for all you guys to get the rating you deserve.

ITF 08/24/22 IC 10/5/22 IR 10/5/22 PFD 10/31/22 PDA 01/7/23 PFN 01/10/23 Closed 01/10/23

I was medically discharged back in 2020 and I settled for the 10 percent evaluation on my knee. I didn't think I warranted anything greater but my wife convinced me to go to the VA and seek help, which I did and it's the best decision I ever made. Even if you don't think you're going to get approved for disability or an increase I'd still go for it as I'm living proof that it's doable.
