Can military claim their move expense regardless of the distance/employment requirements when making permanent change in military status medical discharge?

[DanaB · Accepted solution]

Yes, you can claim the moving expenses if you move "home" from your last duty post after being discharged because it is still considered a PCS move. 

A permanent change of station (PCS) includes a move from: 

• Home to the area of the first post of duty. 
• One permanent post of duty to another. 
• The last post of duty to home or to a nearer point in the U.S. The Armed Forces member must move within one year of ending active duty or within the period allowed under the Joint Travel Regulations
