IF so, you might want to start the VA process now.<br />If you have a service connected disability, you should get a rating and will be entitled to treatment for those service connected conditions.

I have found them to be more helpful that DAV or any other service organization.

If the condition is something that was not pre-existing then probably. You will figure all of that out during the Med-board process.
