I mentioned this in my last post, but if you are struggling trying to get disability compensation from the military, never give up! Find some sources who can help you with this like the DVA. They are working with me right now, I have been trying for over ten years. I will not give up, because both of my injuries were real.

It has been hard to be positive when I have been turned down so many times trying to get disability benefits. I have been trying for years.

I have two applications going:

  1. I lost some hearing being a radio operator while deployed to Korea. The doctor that did my discharge physical didn’t even test my ears during his testing.
  2. I was in a jeep accident while stationed at Ft. Bragg. I was thrown from the jeep on top of a big boulder. I hit it back first. My head was thrown back and I got a whip lash, plus it knocked me unconscious. The same doctor did not take x-rays of my back.

I haven’t given up! Never give up, if you know you deserve compensation.
