I am an HPSP medical student. I was diagnosed about a year ago with a health condition (after starting medical school and HPSP). Since then, it has been progressively getting worse, and I now believe it will affect my ability to serve active duty. There is no cure. (It's not HIV). My question is, if I ask for a medical discharge, would I be required to pay back everything? The policy handbook states that I may be held financially responsible, but it's ambiguous. It does state specifically the HIV patients are exempt.
I know my ability to serve active duty is compromised, but I'd rather hide my health condition than have to pay back money I do not have.
Can anyone advise? What usually happens in these medical cases?
