It depends on the circumstances of the sailor's case. Usually a medical entitles you to a VA disability rating (percentage of disability determined by a board of MO's), but you don't necessarily have to accept medical care from a VA hospital. In fact, you're better off if you don't. However, if it's due to something that disqualifies you from duty, but wasn't necessarily caused by service, then you're not eligible.

The disability rating percentage is extremely important for anyone who wishes to apply for a government job. Hiring preferences are given to Veterans, but those Veterans with point-preference get priority. For example, all Vets automatically get a 5 point preference; 10 points are given to those with certain awards (e.g., Expeditionary Medals), and 15 points are given to disabled Vets. The percentage amount of your disability determines the your point preference.

As an example, though my Asthma is service connected, I chose not to opt for a medical discharge. Though I'm eligible for VA medical benefits, I've never applied for them.

If you are medically discharged from the navy, you may be eligible for certain medical benefits, including medical care, compensation, and disability benefits. The specific benefits and support you receive will depend on the nature and severity of your medical condition. You may also be required to undergo a formal evaluation process to determine your disability rating and level of compensation.

It depends on the specific circumstances and laws governing bankruptcy in your jurisdiction. Generally, once a judgment is discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it cannot be reinstated. However, if there were any exceptions to discharge or if the judgment was based on fraud, it could potentially be reinstated.
