Serious Injury or Illness. A serious injury or illness for a current service member is an injury or illness that was incurred by the service member in the line of duty on active duty that may render the service member medically unfit to perform the duties of his/her office, grade, rank, or rating. A serious injury or illness may also result from the aggravation of a pre-existing condition in the line of duty on active duty. A serious injury or illness for a veteran is an injury or illness that was incurred in the line of duty when the veteran was on active duty in the Armed Forces, including any injury or illness that resulted from the aggravation of a preexisting condition in the line of duty on active duty. The injury or illness may manifest itself during active duty or may develop after the service member becomes a veteran. A serious injury or illness of a veteran must be either:
