Medical Discharge Process
Medical discharge is the official process of releasing a service member from duty due to a medical condition that prevents them from meeting military fitness or operational requirements – Find out how we can support you through the process.
Guiding Service Leavers Through Medical Discharge
Leaving the Armed Forces is more than a career change—it is a transition into a new way of life. For those undergoing medical discharge, the process can feel uncertain and overwhelming. Many service leavers face concerns, such as:
- What will happen to my ongoing treatment?
- How will I adapt to civilian life?
- Will I find a job that accommodates my medical needs?
At Veterans Welfare Group, we understand these challenges. Medical discharge represents a significant adjustment, but you do not have to face it alone. We provide guidance, practical support, and a network of individuals who have experienced the same journey.
