Hi,
A little bit about myself, im 29 in the British army, RAMC, as a medic just did my clm part 3 rank of Corporal, was just about to sign my veng long, (I suppose they'll stop me from doing that now) veng long is my extension to 22 years I've served 6 1/2 years so far. I'm currently attached to an infantry battalion and have been highly deployable and deployed throughout.
I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with type 1 I felt unwell for a few days and identified it myself and was in hospital over night to do bloods and get my glucose levels. I have been in leave since my first day back tomorrow.
I understand I'll be MND (T) downgraded initially for 3 months and I understand I could be administratively discharged because of it to.
I'm looking for guidance from anyone who's been through or going through something similar or anyone with any knowledge on this.
How long the process will be if I do get a administrative discharge?
What help is out there? I've emailed alot of the charities like the RBL and they tell me to speak to a different organsitaionsand keep sending me in circles.
Financially wise if I do lose my job what support is there for me?
What kind of jobs can I and can't I do?
There is so many questions going through my head but their just a couple.
Be greatly appreciated for any information you guys can provide
Many thanks
Daniel
