<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes- for sure.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A general rule of thumb, <br />Will service in the military make it worse? <br />If so, then probably not, but you can get a waiver for almost anything. <br />Go through the process, get the medical eval and make them tell you no. Make your recruiter work for it!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can, but the VA compensation will not be paid during periods you receive military pay.<br />Typically, this is 63 days per year (48 UTAs and 15 AT).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Before I Dane back active duty I was National Guard and was receiving VA Disability. As long as you are not full-time AGR, you will still receive your disability payments. Good luck to you...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. I have a 60% rating and still serving. I believe 70% is the upper limit, but I don&#39;t know for sure.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can. Depending on your rating, you will probably receive either reduced pay (compensated by your rating) or no pay due to rating (i.e., 100% VA). I knew several Soldiers that were drilling for points because their VA rating was high enough that they couldn&#39;t receive pay.
