What is the name of your state?My brother in law is currently stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. He has had 100% disability status since returning from Iraq in April of 2003. My brother in law has no vision in one eye, no hearing in one ear and partial hearing in the other ear, and has lost his right middle finger, which was formerly his trigger finger. What is left of his middle finger is still broken because it never healed properly. The military has told him that his rank is not high enough to warrant surgery. In addition, he suffers from major headaches when near an excess of light and loud noises. He wishes to stay in the military, but those at his base have recently been instructed to treat him as persona non grata. His disability status has been taken away from him, and he has been put back onto 12 hour shifts. His former doctor, who granted him 100% disability has been taken away from him, and he has been given a new doctor that says he is fine and tells my brother in law that his problems are "in his head." If ordered to do 50 pushups, my brother in law stops at 10 because his headache has gotten out of control. His superiors tell him that this is fine, but do not let him go to sick call when he asks. They tell him that he may go after he has completed his shift, but after his shifts he goes home. The military intends to send my brother in law over to Iraq in August. Is there anything he can do to prevent this, and get his disability status back? Is this legal?
