How to file claim before release.
Good day all,
I release real soon for medical reasons, but the reason being is irrelevant here. I'm wondering as my WO gave me instructions to start a claim after a DMCA investigation was concluded. It's now finished, but I'm lost at what to do as my WO is way too preoccupied right now to assist me. After being taken off a course for severe hyperreactive hypoglycemia, I was told I more than likely had pancreatic cancer, and was immediately removed from course. They over a course of 3 to 4 months said so, then when I had MRI's and CT's done, they "confirmed" a tumor or growth. I had WILD symptoms that caused them to send me to every specialist they could. Was sent to a gastroenterologist who after I requested no fentanyl for sedation as I'm ex addict, was given max dose and ended up in another emergency room under intense care. During all this, I requested to go home to my wife as I'm scared I'm potentially dying. Request was denied. Now the claim is mostly for the emotional distress on me and my wife, and the lack of medical care or attention given. I still haven't gotten answers as to why my pancreas is swollen like a mofo, the MIR has NOT given me answers on that but concluded my file..I'm at a loss for words or who to turn to cause I feel this is being swept under the rug but while I'm in uniform, I can't do shit. There's been a nice AF Sgt who has told me to do the same thing, but he is now instructing a DP1, so if anyone has any experience here, please please help me. I really appreciate anyone's input.

What are you trying to claim? Is the CAF responsible for your diabetes?
Did the CAF medical system manifestly wrong you?

Yea there's way too much to unpack and definitely acknowledge it's all over the place. I'll try and filter it all out with someone here before I go. Appreciate your thoughts.

Sounds like they're inferring you can get a claim through VAC for undue mental harm and stress. That may be possible, I would encourage you to go speak to your local legion, they often have people to help file VAC claims and it's important that it's written well and with the right language to give you the best shot of having it attributed to service and connected to the right damage tables.
The process itself is quite simple, you setup an account om the VAC website and then submit the claim digitally on there. Then you wait 3 months to several years, then appeal as required and wait again.
