Cpl Johnny Willis 6641207 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Prior Service - VA Disability Stopped, Re-joining military. Report?<br /><br />I am prior service. 0311 USMC 4 years. I got out with RE-1A code which allows me to re-join another branch. Did government contracting for the duration of attending school online. Claim VA throughout this process and received a 40% rating. Got my Bachelors Degree. Looking to go back into military as commissioned. I contacted the VA to &quot;terminate&quot; benefits, they told me to submit form VBA-20-572, form submitted and no longer Receive Direct Deposit. Went to private doctor and got cleared of full medical from top to bottom - fit for duty, intense training.<br /><br />My question is: When going back in, do I need to disclose anything with VA since I am no longer receiving it? 2021-01-08T00:55:10-05:00 Cpl Johnny Willis 6641207

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You will need to disclose your disabilities when filling in the MEPS medical questionnaire. Failure to do so may constitute fraudulent enlistment. As for telling MEPS about the disability rating itself, I don&#39;t think you need to say anything. The doctors will assess any problems you have against the regulations and determine if they are disqualifying. The DoD and VA have completely different sets of criteria -- no need to muddy the water since you have suspended your benefits.<br />Also, let the VA know when you get out and remember that if you get any sort of separation or retirement pay when you get out it will affect the amount of VA benefit you receive even if your disability rating remains unchanged.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, you will have to annotate this when you fill out question 27 on your DD2807-1.<br /><br />&quot;27. Have you ever received, is there pending, or have you ever applied for pension or compensation for any disability or injury? (If yes, specify what kind, granted by whom, and what amount, when, why.)&quot;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The best way to get this done is one of two ways. Either seek out a VA representative and they’ll be able to assist you with filing the form to stop your pension, or you can find VA Form 21-8951-2 on Ebenefits, complete the form, and submit it to the VA yourself to stop your pension. After you’ve submitted the form, you’ll need to inform your recruiter that it’s done to continue the enlistment process.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. You must be completely honest about your physical condition. If the Army asks about previous injury, hospitalizations, illness, etc., you must be absolutely honest and accurate. You can note that the condition has been overcome.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They are going to find it with you social security number so don&#39;t try to hide it if they ask.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It’s against the law to receive dual compensation - VA and military pay. Since you are not getting anymore VA disability compensation and are just getting your AD pay, I think you are in the clear and don’t need to report anything to the VA.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The military has access to your VA medical records and vice versa.
