Service injury admin does not automatically become simpler after ORD. In some ways it becomes easier to miss because you are no longer living inside the daily NSF routine.

The official details that matter are practical: where the Service Injury Card can be used, when a referral is needed, what to do if the diagnosis changes, and how to preserve documents.

This article is not a substitute for medical advice. It is an admin guide for keeping the official injury trail intact after ORD.

Service injury admin becomes expensive and irritating when the medical sequence is wrong.

The most common problems are not dramatic. They are procedural:

• going straight to a specialist without the right referral
• assuming the Service Injury Card works everywhere
• not updating the paperwork after a diagnosis changes

If you get the order right, the rest becomes much less painful.
