Daughter Hurt and Being "Separated"
Here's my question: Will the Navy pay for a recruit's physical therapy and medications after being separated?
My daughter was suppose to graduate on 10/26/12. She was running the 1.5 mile and was about to pass the test. Less than 20 seconds from the finish line, she collapsed. Xrays showed that she had 7 stress fractures (left foot, left shin, both ankles, both knees, and her femur). She was told that she would be in physical therapy for 12 weeks. But she has become depressed (a natural reaction to the circumstances), and she's having a lot of anxiety. She is now being separated and will be home in 2-5 weeks. She said that the Navy told her that they will NOT pay for her physical therapy at home. I don't understand how they can break her and not fix her. If they will not pay for her therapy at home then there should not have been a conversation about separating her UNTIL AFTER she had the opportunity to heal.
However, IF the Navy has an obligation to pay for therapy, then I need information about that.

I want to say, they need to pay for her treatment or keep her there until she's better.

The same thing happened to a friends' daughter who did boot camp for the Air Force. She had to make repeated tries for the 1.5 mile run, and finally passed her boot camp. After, though, the same thing was discovered, stress fractures in her shins and ankles. They practically forced her to separate, but told her she could come back after she was healed. When she tried to re-sign, they refused to accept her.

No they are not obligated to pay for her therapy or anything else. She will have to file a claim with the VA to TRY and get disability so they will pay...average time for answer about disability claim is 6-12 months (yes I said months).
Regarding having a conversation about her being sent home...you might want to talk to your daughter about that..if you want to know what is 100% up..ask your daughter to sign the hippa and privacy paper work so you can talk to the doctors about her issues (medical and depression). If she won't sign the, than you will never know what really happened and why she is being sent home instead of going through therapy and having a chance to stay Navy.
