If you are receieving military disability can you ever rejoin?

Answer 1

This is going to depend, if you separated under medical reasons, then it is highly unlikely that you'll be accepted to re-enlist.

However, if you separated under anything else, except for maybe a bad-conduct discharge or dishonorable discharge, AND you do not rate at more than 30% disability, you may be able to re-enlist. This of course will be dependent upon the nature of the disability, and the type of rating/MOS you seek to join.

You can serve in the reserves with a VA rated disability of less than 30% and still collect disability compensation. Again this is going to be a big paperwork drill and probably many medical appointments and possibly even a medical review board to determine if you can reasonably perform the duties of your chosen specialty despite your disability.

Answer 2

I am 50, receive a VA pension for a non-service connected disability, and have a felony conviction for a second drunk driving (Class D Felony in IN). Last year the National Gaurd tried to recruit me and said they could waive the Disability and the Felony. If you get a Pension from the VA for a non-service connected disability, the time is ripe to try and get back in. Also, the Naval Reserve got waivers for me too. It could be though, that if someone has advanced degrees like I do, they'll do anything to get you in. but, good luck!

Answer 3

if you were combat wounded, the majority of AR 601-210 (standards of enlistment) for the Army doesn't apply and you will be able to.

Grab your medical docs and head to the nearest recruiter.

Answer 4

Depends how badly you were wounded. My Staff NCOIC was Anglico, broke his back on a combat jump, rehabbed himself and reinlisted in the reserves.

Answer 5

Nope. You got out because you were disabled and couldn't stay in.

Answer 6

probably not, but it would depend on your disability and if you could get a waiver
