His second option would be to have his records corrected to show that he was medically retired rather than merely discharged because of his medical conditions. The VA, which has neither the authority, nor the responsibility for determining physical fitness for military service, awards disability ratings to veterans for conditions that it determines were incurred during military service and subsequently affect the individual’s civilian employability. The available evidence confirms that the...
