Mos And Your Va Disability Claim
Veterans: Enter your MOS Code on Google to Find Your Next Job
When a Veteran goes through an Intake in our office, the fifth question we ask is, What was your MOS? For those of you who dont know, MOS stands for Military Occupational Specialty. For civilians, its a lot like a job description. It describes what a soldier does in the Military. The US Army website has hundreds of MOSs listed. There is a wide variety of Military Jobs listed, too. They range from Special Forces Officer to Oboe Player and everything in-between . We ask about a Veterans MOS because it can have a lot to do with getting service connected for a disability claim. For instance, if a Veteran is trying to claim hearing loss, an MOS of Infantryman will support this claim a lot more than an MOS of Human Resources Specialist. The reason for this is that an Infantryman is a lot more likely to be involved in a combat situation in which he or she is exposed to loud noises, and other activities that could damage hearing. The VA Disability Process can be complicated. That is why so many Veterans turn to the legal professionals at Jan Dils Attorneys at Law.

Who Gets The Best Mos OptionsTheres no way to say it except the most direct waymilitary recruits who do very well on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery have the widest options open to them. ASVAB scores rate each recruit in a variety of areas and those who do poorly in one or more of them find their job options rather limited compared to those who do well in all areas of the test. The key is to study hard for this test as it is designed to screen out candidates who arent cut out for certain jobs that require certain skills. For example, if you are bad with numbers, your ASVAB scores could cut you out of the running for jobs in military finance, certain personnel jobs, etc. If you score badly on other areas of the test, you may be left out of consideration for certain admin jobs, intel work, or other MOS options that require competitive scores. Ask your recruiter what the best tools to prepare for the ASVAB might be, and be sure to mention what kinds of work you are most interested in doing and which areas of the test might be relevant to those career fields.
