What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
Hello,
I will give a brief summary of my situation, although it is quite complex. I am an E-4 in the US Navy Reserve with 3 years of service and am currently on active duty orders for at least 1 year. I began showing symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes while on military training orders in October, 2016. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes off duty, by a civilian doctor in November, 2016. I disclosed my condition to military medical in November, 2016 and was found "Not physically qualified, but recommended for retention" in April, 2017. I was selected for 1 year active duty orders INCONUS from October, 2017-October, 2018. I am currently active duty while completing those orders. However, with General Mattis creating the new policy of "be world wide assignable or get kicked out", it seems I may be facing discharge soon as I am not deployable.
Here are my questions:
What type of discharge will I receive if it comes to that?
Do I get any separation benefits (severance pay, disability) since I was diagnosed off duty (in a drilling reservist status) by a civilian even though symptoms started while I was on training orders? (I know I get veteran benefits because I will have served at least 1 year of active duty).
