Can I join the Army Reserves or National Guard if I am currently collecting compensation from the VA?

Join the state militia. You won't get paid, but the camaraderie will be there

Not all, it depends on percentage

I was in the Reserves while drawing VA disability. However, there are a few things to consider. First, does your disability medically disqualify you from service. Specifically, can you complete an induction physical and meet all medical standards for 'fitness.' Second, does your disability require a profile to complete your duties or participate in the Physical Fitness test. If yes, then ensure that your profile is current and communicated to the unit leadership, when you join. If you are accepted into a unit, then you will serve and draw military pay or points only.

If you draw military pay, then after the end of the fiscal year, VA will compare DFAS pay records against your VA disability pay records. Sometime around March, you will receive notification of the overlap and formally choose to receive your disability pay or military pay for the number of days you drew both. Based on your election, VA will withhold payment until you have paid this amount off or DFAS will collect this amount from your drill checks. Be advised that some people select VA because this is tax free. If you choose this, then there is a good chance you will perform military duties for the next year, without pay, as DFAS collects. However, if your VA disability pay is large enough, then it is better to keep the taxable military pay and forego a month or two without VA disability. Good luck.

AS a former recruiter, the fact that you are receiving disability and exited the military as a E-3 raises a lot of red-flags for me. However, I'm not up to speed on the current regulations and USAREC Messages. If it is possible to get back in, it will be on the Army's terms. In the past, you would have had to of been reevaluated by the VA and had the disability nullified. I would suggest talking to a current recruiter; but don't get your hopes up.

Dual Compensation from the VA and the Military is Prohibited
There is a law on the books often referred to as “concurrent receipt” which prohibits service members from being paid for active duty or active or inactive training concurrently with VA disability compensation or pension benefits.* You can find these laws written in 10 U.S. Code § 12316 – Payment of certain Reserves while on duty, and 38 U.S. Code § 5304 – Prohibition Against Duplication of Benefits.

you sure can can't receive both pays though. do 28 days VA then 2 day Training

I really thought this was a joke.....learn something new everyday.....but I guess the obvious question is.....why would the reserves or NG take someone that is a disabled veteran?
