How Combat Medics Can Leverage Their MOS for VA Disability Claims
In the video Leah discusses the relevance of military occupational specialties (MOS) to VA disability claims, particularly focusing on combat medics. She shares her own journey from being a combat medic deployed with the 82nd Airborne Division to deciding to become a physician assistant influenced by her experiences and mentors. Leah introduces the MOS smartbook, explaining how it helps in assessing whether personnel can still perform their duties and how these duties, especially those demanding physical tasks like carrying heavy loads or performing medical procedures under stress, can be linked to service-related health conditions. She emphasizes the value of understanding one's MOS requirements when filing for VA disability claims, aiming to assist veterans in navigating their rights and potential claims.

Great video. I was a 91W turned 68W OIF vet too. I don’t feel like I have any physical ailments, but I do feel I sustained mental ailments in the form of PTSD from caring after battlefield casualties. I don’t see much content on this subject on KZread and I was wondering if you can do a part two? I find medics often go above and beyond caring for others and we are struggling with caring for ourselves. Thanks 🙏

I am sorry to hear about your experiences sir. Thank you for watching and I will add this to the list
Bi-Lateral hearing loss filed in 2011, was given service connection with a 0% rating. Tried to get the percentage increased in 2021 and was denied an increase despite hearing being worse (Moderate to moderately severe hearing loss). Hearing aids approved by the VA. The Doctor at the hearing loss C&P exam asked "If you were a medic (Navy Corpsman with 12th Marines, Artillery) why were you around guns?" Such a frustrating process.

I am sorry to hear this sir. I am glad you are at least service connected
That MOS smartbook is another great tool paired with DBQS. The road maps are available to help you win your claims...you just have to patiently follow them.😊

Absolutely! Thank you for your insights as always my friend!
Just submitted a supplemental claim trying to explain why my time in the infantry caused issues with my back, shins, and feet.

Not that I am aware of I am sorry!
I was a Navy Corpsman stationed with the US Marines. I have to keep up with them during training. I was also stationed in a hospital where it’s common to lift patients that need total care. Luckily I went to medical and have it on my STR that I hurt my back. I now have DDD with spondylitis, ridiculopathy along with myofacial pain syndrome. I’m assuming you can put the mos in a nexus letter regarding all these job duties?
