Physical Evaluation Board Forum

I have been tasked to give a brief on VA benefits and eligibility for guard members.

Does anyone have eligibility info for

MDay (1 wknd per month, 2 week AT) Paid for weekend drill days & ATs
AGR (Fulltime unit staff) Full benefits and pay like AD
SAD (State Active Duty) mobilized for fires, etc.) Short periods, no BAH, etc
ADSW (Active Duty Special Work) Full benefits and pay like AD

I don't know of anyone who has been injured while on SAD orders. However, I do know of AGR, MDay, and ADSW who have had injuries.

AGR, ADSW and MDay training accident (even if having tripped over a laptop)- Are these people eligibile?
AGR, ADSW and MDay auto accidents after or before work hours- Are these people eligibile?
AGR, ADSW and MDay household accidents- Are these people eligibile?

I have heard that no matter how, if you were entitled to base pay, you are eligibile for VA disability benefits. Unless AWOL or involved in a crime.

Thanks in advance!
