It depends on the medical condition. If you are getting out due to pregnancy then you will not get any benefits.
IF you are getting out because you were injured, then you will receive medical benefits and re-training benefits if you are no longer able to do the work that you were doing.
IF you medical condition is significant enough so you get placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) then you will be basicly retired as if you had done 20 years, the only difference is the pay, which won't be much since you have only been in for 7-8 months, but you can file for disability compensation from the VA which will probably be much more than your military pay, because if you are disabled retired the USAF will only look at the major injury where the VA looks at all injuries and adds them together. So make sure that everything that hurts on you is noted in your medical record.
You can get a full list of all of your benefits at www.va.gov and you should also get the information at the Transition Assistance Program class that you should be attending prior to getting out.
Good luck and you should talk to your VA rep in the state that you will be going to prior to getting out. They may be able to help you also.

Are you being "discharged" or "medically retired?"
If you're being discharged, you get full VA benefits as does any other former service member, but you will NOT get a paycheck from the Air Force.
If you're being medically retired, you get both the bennies AND the paycheck for life.
And the paycheck is NOT tax-free, by the way.

You won't get much depending on what rating you get for service connection. You must be in the service for a minimum of 24 months in order to get ful benefits. You will get your service connected injury medications for free or at a low copay, and medical services involving that will either be free or a low copay, but for the most part you are paying for almost everything. I was a combat veteran, injured in Iraq, and since i was in more than 2 years i have total free healthcare.

I wasn't aware that you got any benefits unless the medical condition was caused by your work. Then I believe you get medical and may be able to claim a disability?

the only way you nonetheless have a defense force identity when you depart the defense force is that in case you left with the aid of retirement. in case you may decide to be sure, touch your interior of sight identity place of work on the closest base/positioned up.
