returning to the military (maybe)
I got out in 2002, and from that point I've been receiving disability from the VA. I now have an opportunity to return to the Reserves, and it's actually a full-time Reserve position, not the traditional "one weekend a month and 2 weeks during the year."
Question 1: Will they even allow me to join back up if I'm disabled?
Question 2: And if they do let me join up, is it contingent on me declaring and stopping any payments for disability from the VA?

If you are working full time, I would hope your disability payments are stopped.k 0 -
Might get a more definitive answer from them, instead of us. Probably better not to seek medical advice here either. 0 -

You really think you should get a check for being disabled and not being able to work
AND get a check for working at the same time?????
Did I see you standing in the middle of all those white dressed Democrats at the state of the union address a while ago????? :?0 -

In what manner are you disabled?
How would your disability impact your readiness to serve in the military?
If you are disabled from the military, yet you seek reinstatement in the military is that not an oxymoron?0 -
looking for a full time sit down with continuing payments ??? double dipping ^^ 0 -
Never mind, you're missing my point of why I was asking. I'm not TRYING to receive both. I'm just trying to make sense of the systems. 0 -
To answer both your questions without reading in to why you're asking like others have
1) I'm not sure, but if you're capable of doing the job that they're asking you to do I don't see why they would turn you down. But again like say, I'm no expert are the subject. I do know it would not hurt to find out by trying to rejoin
2) if there are restrictions on your disability payments that would keep you from rejoining, then yes you have to declare that you went back to work.
But the best thing to do is research it in the proper Avenues to do so, I don't believe here is the proper Avenue. All you will do is get here, just like I have given you here0 -

Thank you, I appreciate your response. I've often found that this forum is an excellent source of advise and diverse opinions, thus my OP.0 -
Brother, if you can get back in to the Military, Reserves (or not.)
My Hat is off to you. I Thank You for your Service Brother.
(And) Your willingness to serve.

Thanks for saying that, Ken, I appreciate it!😎0 -
I tried to get back in to the Natl. Guard/Reserves when I moved back here. (In 2006.)
A complicated formula is used to decide If you can get back in or not.
Time served/age/ time until retirement/ etc. etc.
I would have Served Proudly (Had an MOS they wanted badly.) Two years beyond "acceptance." (Idiots.)
Could have done some good/trained younger Members.
Whatever.0 -

The best advice I can give is to find a lawyer that specializes in military disability. The regulations change a lot, what may have been applicable six months ago may be totally different today. 0 -
