I have a list of medical conditions and a recent diagnosis that call for an eval. I have not deployed with 5 years of service in the reserves.

Since you are out, you can file a claim with the VA SFC Marc W.

In order to get a profile, you would need to see a doctor. You can have your PCM write something up and submit it to your POC at HRC or you can request a PHA. A failing condition will get you evaluated. You will not be medically separated like active duty service members.<br />Or you can stay in the IRR until your contract is over and just ETS.<br /><br />P.S. There are OCONUS reserve units. Going to the IRR was a choice, not the only one. It is harder to get help and find POCs while in the IRR.

Contact that organization. CSM Darieus ZaGara Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:45:32 -0500 2020-02-19T18:45:32-05:00 2020-02-19T00:03:39-05:00
