I don't know your situation but military disability is a broken system like many govt system. The govt tries it's damnedest to get people on their dole and that sickens me. I didn't take the money because I didn't need it and don't think I deserved it.

I think this a big issue and a big part of our problem... you for example didn't take money cause you didn't think you deserved it... others take money when they don't deserve it...
I qualify for welfare... but I don't take it.. because I don't want to rely on the government... even though I work 40 hours a week at night and can barely make ends meet... and as I said in another thread.. I'm not complaining I actually like my job...but affordable healthcare would be nice.

When I went through the separation classes a lady from the VA told us several times that EVERYONE deserved VA disability. She then coached us on what to say and do on our physicals to get rated. It was sickening. I told her what she was talking about was fraud but she stuck to her "all of us deserve disability" philosophy. I do hope those who need it are able to get it.

I have friends that served and the VA and gvt have been fighting their PTSD claims tooth and nail.

True.
Amen.
Last time I returned from the sand box ... that VA guy badgered me for about an hour.
My feeling was ... "Dude ... look at me ... I have all my arms and legs, fingers and toes ... I am not blown to high hell ... I ain't psycho ... I like to drink, but I was that way before all this shite went down ... so, I just want to go home now and see my family... give the money to somebody who deserves it....I will work and provide for myself and my loved ones."
