training injury report to seek compensation claims (just like
an insurance claim) and once approved, in future,
all medical fees incurred in any govt
restructured hospital will be fully borned by Mindef
with the issurance of a Service Injury card.
For
ORD Reservists, Mindef will borne
the fees only

the claim is approved, the issurance of a Service
Injury (SI) Card.
From the moment the injury report claim is
filed till its approval, most cases took an approx. few
months, while a handful
of complicated cases can take up to a
year to be verified and processed.
Service injuries are injuries sustained while serving NS.
This also includes injuries sustained when reporting for duty or
going home after duty.
You will
get FULL
subsidy for medical treatment for such injuries, even after
ORD.
Remember to first report your injury to your unit MO. Also remember to collect and keep all
documents relating to your injury and your treatment. These will
help when you submit the injury report and seek
claims.
