https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/3-yrs-on-my-contract-and-i-was-just-diagnosed-with-epilepsy-what-happens-now <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m three years in on asix year contract with the Utah National Guard, and last February I had a seizure. Never had one before, but after that I had one a month or so. My neurologist just diagnosed me and put me on medication. I let the Medics know that I had seizures know during my annual PHA and my chain of command knows. My questions is, is it likely I&#39;ll be discharged? If so, how do I go about getting VA benefits if I&#39;m entitled to any? Thanks.

As for VA benefits, get your exit physical and make sure everything that is wrong is documented and then apply to the VA to get your disability rating. We have some people here in RP who are great advisors for this Lt Col Charlie Brown Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:34:06 -0500 2020-02-24T19:34:06-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/3-yrs-on-my-contract-and-i-was-just-diagnosed-with-epilepsy-what-happens-now?n=5596347&urlhash=5596347 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1607400" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1607400-30154-aircraft-inertial-and-radar-navigation-systems-repairman">Sgt Private RallyPoint Member</a> advice?

(I ask because there are mild forms of seizures that can easily be something else if not tested for) <br />Because if there is any chance its not a seizure, you could get a second opinion to avoid medboard (if you want to avoid it at least) SPC Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 24 Feb 2020 22:38:31 -0500 2020-02-24T22:38:31-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/3-yrs-on-my-contract-and-i-was-just-diagnosed-with-epilepsy-what-happens-now?n=5598351&urlhash=5598351 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Make sure everything is put the right way, reread everything during each appointment. Most of everything is on the computer now so don’t let them close it out before you read it. Make sure it says right if it’s right and left if it’s left. Do not trust anyone to do the right thing.
