Disability via military and private insurance

[grendo]

Does receiving a disability rating for a certain injury/condition affect the payout from private disability insurance? Are you able to collect from both military and private disability insurance for the same injury?

You may not be able to even get private disability insurance after you leave the military if you receive a disability rating from the service.

It depends on the company. I was able to obtain disability insurance prior to military. I am separating in the future. I wouldn’t want my injuries that I’ve gotten during active service to affect my ability to get a payout from my private disability insurance company if I ever needed to

May I ask what injury you got while serving in the military?

Are those injuries due to military related activities?(hike, shipboard, field exercise, etc) or from seeing patients? Thanks for sharing btw.
