Sorry to start a new thread as the 1 I started was locked.
Suffered an fractured elbow a few years back doing my ict and was already certified as service injury.
Just want to ask...I have already done my pd(percentage disability) report about 2 years ago but after that my unit never called me again to tell me if I'm eligible for any compensation. That time, I was not working though. Does that meant that I'm not eligible for it?
Thanks in advance.

Question: Why did you not call them up after a few months or so?
Constant nagging actually does help to get internal processing work done. Just because they didn't call you back doesn't mean you are not eligible.
Because I'm not sure as I'm not working at the time I got injured. No working, so no loss of income, so no compensation.
When an NSman sustains an injury due to an authorised activity sanctioned by the Unit Commanding Officer during his In-Camp Training (ICT), he is required to report the incident immediately to his Unit S1/Manpower Officer and Unit Medical Officer (MO), so that his unit can assist him in the filing of his injury report and to provide him with the required treatment for his injury.
NSman is to provide the following, should he wish to submit his bills incurred for the treatment of his service injury:
Upon the approval of his injury as attributable to service, the NSman may be issued with an SI card, if it is certified by his attending doctor that he would require long-term medical treatment for his service injury. This SI card will provide him with fully subsidised medical benefits at government/restructured hospitals and polyclinics at his eligible ward for as long as he requires it.
If NSman has incurred medical fees at government/restructured hospitals and polyclinics for the treatment of his service injury prior to the approval, he is to retain all original receipts, certification from the doctor that the treatment is for his service injury and other supporting documents to his payment of medical fees. He may submit these documents to MINDEF/SAF Human Resource Shared Services Centre (HRSSC) upon the approval of his service injury for medical reimbursement. Do note that only medical fees incurred at government/restructured hospitals and polyclinics are reimbursable by MINDEF and he is to seek referral from doctors at polyclinic, hospital's A&E or his Unit MO for treatments at government/restructured hospitals.
If the NSman remains on continuous medical leave upon his ICT due to his service injury, he may be eligible for ex-gratia payment if it is certified by his employer that he is not receiving any salary for the period of his medical leave for his service injury. He is to provide a letter from his employer to inform MINDEF of this and the amount that is to be reimbursed, together with supporting documents.
This ex-gratia payment, which is meant to compensate NSman's loss of income during the period of medical leave, will be paid in a stepdown approach based on his civilian pay or an equivalent pay of a regular serviceman, whichever higher. The ex-gratia payment will cease upon the termination of his medical leave or the award of his disability compensation, whichever earlier.
If it is certified by his attending Specialist that his service injury has stabilised, the NSman is to inform his unit to request for him to be reviewed by his Unit MO. He will be required to complete an authorisation form to allow MINDEF to obtain a Disability Assessment Report (DAR) from his attending Specialist on his service injury. The hospital will take about 3 to 4 months to revert with the DAR. Upon the receipt of the DAR with no further query, he will be scheduled to attend a PD Board by Military Medicine Institute (MMI) for the endorsement of the PD that has been assessed by his attending Specialist for him to have suffered as a result of his service injury. Upon the endorsement and approval of his PD Board Outcome, MINDEF/SAF HRSC will then be able to process his disability compensation. He will be informed of the award of his lump sum disability compensation subsequently.
write to mindef. Get them to resolve it for you.

Question where did you do your Percentage disability ? Your unit must setup an army review medicial board - which will recommend the percentage disability. If that is done, the next step is they would arrange the insurance side to make do a review , right after that they will inform you the disability payment.
It does not matter whether you are working or not. The SAF - buy insurance based on your whole body. Thus based on your % of disability - they will calculate based on that percentage.
I did my pd report at NUH about 2 years ago. My unit booked the appointment for me 1.

you must chase them, chase them!,chase them!? They take years to process the stuff. And you need to make sure you have a backup copy. most probably the CPL in-charge has ORD loh.

That is only the outside PH report.
Your unit is suppose to booked a medicial review board for you right after that - where will review and recommend downgrading and also PH - usually the insurance side will recommend a lower % disability recommendation :) . If all goes well a few month see cheque send to you.

it is not that the case is serious, or not. it is the administration and working attitude of the clerks. noted that filing a claim has no date due. so the paper will be most like left on the table. the more important things such as going lunch, life program, book out, comes in as higher priorities. who care about you? if you dont make noise, shoot the cases all the way to mindef? Nobody will bother. Who cares? Some1 will take over the work when the clerk ORD. They will eventually clear the work, but it will take years.
It is very impt to have a backup copy as they might lost in.
Hopefully this will enlighten some1. Welcome to the REAL world!
Just gave ns.sg a call. They will contact my unit for me. Will update when my unit contact me.
Thanks for all the help so far.

Refer to:

The monetary compensation is in lieu of the Workmen Compensation Act by Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
(E.g.: www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_327327.html)
Be wise. Be smart.
Seek compensation + an Service Injury Card for post-ORD bills thru a Training Injury Report for injuries caused by official duties / in camp.
NS is only 2 years of your life, some injuries is for a life time.
i heard when come to compensation
MO plays a part also
but heard that MO also delay report etc
all majong...
Just an update...
My unit called me today, another pd report to be done at MMI next week.
Hmm...but anyone knows how come must do another pd report at MMI? The last pd report done at NUH was also booked by my unit. If they don't trust the specialist at NUH, how come still ask me to go there?

Because the pd was 2 years back and they want to check again?
If nothing is wrong this time round, I don't think they will compensate you anything.
I don't think that's the reason. Before going for the NUH appt 2 years ago, I did call and told them I'm ok and not suffering and permanant disability. But they still told me to go as it's to access the % of the damage that I suffered, in my case, should be the angle of my elbow that I can bend.
If NS go in normal then one day mentally insane downgraded to PESF mindef will compensate ?
Lastime in 1960s my mom kampung gt ppl gt discharged the guy permanently insane.
Mindef that time no compensate now well compensate ?
Just to do an update...
Went for the appointment today. I will be compensated. Thanks for all
the help.
And the appointment is really very fast, went in, MO told me the % of my
pd, less than 30 seconds, I'm out of the room.
