U.S. soldiers couldn't file claims against DOD doctors — until now

FERES DOCTRINE has a few points that made it somewhat valid.

1 is the assumption being that the service member will get timely coverage access to workers compensation military insurance coverage either in service or at the VA.

The FERES DOCTRINE again assumes that 100% of injured ill service members proximate to duty will be given timely workers compensation access.

You can read all sorts of CORPSMAN and MEDIC and BUMED, basically any military medical manual discussing the importance of medical admin documenting records for disability workers compensation benefits, with the same manuals warnings that a Servie member will be negatively affected by administrative error.

You can take my case for example.

My Navy Army Transfer 1998 was Permanent Profiled 3P for Spine Musculoskeletal and PSYCH left open, after I was sent to a psych for the first time in my life by MEPS during this transfer off a Guided Missile Frigate.

18 years later I would do a FOIA and recieve these records of Permanent
Profile never transferred back to the Navy

In those 18 years my mom my fiance at the time had become my Corpsman with no training, taxing them, as I became a hot mess young pushing sad depressed angry confused and still suiting up ready for action.

I would lose my fiancé. My mom would pass away from a heart condition. My younger sister and brother would distance themselves from me. I would end up cutting myself in suicide hospital. I was in a Psych Ward in San Diego just months after my honorable discharge May 2002.

I would find myself in housing so desperate not to be homeless with a gay man who would assault me daily almost like being on that ship again having to blank out to some extent.

I would enter the VA for the first time 12 years later 2014 after 2002 when an army guy walked me in there. VA Oakland at the time headline news whistleblower 2015 negligent in processing benefits.

5 years I would stay in this mans house getting assaulted some how some way I got used to it and i went crazy in a place just to think that is what my life had become.

Then the FOIA uncovers the Navy Army Transfer documents not transferred.

A AIRFORCE Veteran County Service Rep saw my Profile 3P and said something was not write with that and then it became aware that some 18 years went by and all that loss and trauma to my family with no va or military workers compensation benefits support medical care access humanitarian support was rendered and I was this close to being one of those 23 a day veterans talking to god soon after.

Then I found myself finding out in 2005 my actual missing father was a Army Soldier Vietnam 66-68 11 LIB in the care of the VA Virginia incompetent. He recieved VA Workers Compenstation for Vietnam Service some 40 years late, when he had already lost everything so many times he was living under bridges.

Let’s see my childhood is better understood embarrasse3d with a great young mom with no VA support or child support having a near impossible time feeding us sharing rooms when my dad could no longer support.

So I do not believe the FERES DOCTRINE really covers gaps in coverage, gaps in help, gaps in support, gaps that destroy.

I believe the only people that really survive and do well are the ones who do get injured and have a really good timely support system. Then some of them wonder why you are not doing well.

They can not imagine not getting any support for some 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, after experiencing some really well intense military experiences

Great share brother, thank you.
