Prior service Marine, got out for a year and enlisted in the Army reserves. Trying to figure out if I can still file a claim with the VA while still in the Reserves.

Don’t wait, go ahead and file your claim. If I may, get with a VSO to help you with your claim!

Yes you can claim while in the reserves. Go to ebenefits and start the claim process.
This is for when someone else in the future looks at this post: Your claim cannot be decided while on active duty, you can file a claim180 days before your Active Duty discharge date or after your discharge. Once you start the claim you have 1 year to submit all your contentions and evidence.

SPC Onel Cruz - Yes, you can. I collect Disability and still drill. I drill for points only, unless I am at school or AT.
