Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses about 11B Infantryman and Veterans Disability | All you Need to Know.
Leah discusses the specific occupational challenges and long-term physical impacts faced by 11B Infantrymen in the U.S. Army. She explains how the MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) Smart Book outlines the physical and skill requirements for different army roles, highlighting how these requirements can lead to disabilities eligible for compensation. Leah focuses on the 11B Infantryman, presenting the D.A. Pam (Department of Army Pamphlet) which details the major duties and physical demands at various skill levels, from private to senior non-commissioned officers. This includes tasks like carrying heavy loads, identifying targets at long distances, and physical endurance challenges. She points out that these documented requirements can be crucial for veterans seeking disability compensation, especially in cases where injuries or strains weren’t well recorded during service.
