What if you had been told before entering the military that you would come out wanting to file for disability? I guess the answer would be not me and I do not think it would ever happen to me.
Guess what, you are not alone in that thinking mentality, but in some cases, we cannot control what happens to us. But this book is written to cover those uncertainties where we never thought we would be the one and end up being affected due to no fault of our own. But also, you might ask yourself, why do I suffer for the benefit I deserve even if it was no fault of your own? Then this book becomes your guide so you don't have to be in the category of people who suffer to get the disability benefit that they think they have earned and deserve.
There are precautions that you can put in place so you do not have to be in the situation of not getting the benefit you need in case you ever find yourself in that position.
Once in the military, what you need to do is the question you might be asking. Primarily, get a logbook to document every injury or incident. Secondly, go for a sick call about being sick or injured. If you are not allowed, get a friend who witnesses the incident to bring you a personal statement that you can keep and document in your logbook. Report it to family members, and tell them to document the date and year you reported it. If possible, take a picture of the incident and save it for proper evidence if you ever need it. after separation you must put the claim in or ask someone who knows how that content will be in my separate book. Next, let me explain what you need to know and what disability claim is all about.
