Do you blame your job for it? You don't get it. Most veterans don't have any significant injury event they can point to, and it doesn't matter if they're some tech admin with a cush job. They can claim sleep apnea, GERD, migraines, depression, anxiety, diabetes, asthma, flat feet, dry eyes, etc. as service connected while no one else can do this with their jobs which can easily be a worse workplace environment.
You can't. To give the same benefit to everyone else would cost trillions annually. It's pathetic that you guys can't even admit military disability is broken and stupid.
Yeah, I'm the piece of shit for highlighting obvious privilege and not the Democrat politicians that will constantly claim we're not doing enough for veterans while they completely ignore how shitty worker's comp is.
Because they're corrupt and pretend to care about equality/equity.
Suicide rate isn't related to service. That has to do with the demographics. It's just cynical politicians lying.
The process is vastly better than worker's comp and it goes even faster for those that already know about it before TAP and did all their appointments for their silly claims.
How can you say that when around half of recent veterans 2000-24 are getting disability, and the most common combined ratings for more recent veterans are 70-100%?
It's obvious lax when veterans have 100% mental health rating and then want to be cops and pilots never mind all the nurses, EMT, paramedics, etc. that would be able to claim PTSD with the military's ridiculously low standard for it.
They rarely downgrade (read: It's an escalator) and individual claims have approval rates around 60-70%, so almost everyone gets something on first try and that's considering that many people hardly are doing this optimally. I'll post this again,
The average woman Veteran who receives disability compensation benefits from VA has a 68% combined disability rating, and they receive an average of $26,809 in earned disability compensation benefits per year from VA.
The average grant rate for women Veterans is 89.2%, meaning that 89% of women Veterans who have applied for disability benefits with VA have received benefits for at least one condition.
Why is this such a sore spot? You never said your combined rating, and I believe you said something about PTSD in the past, but you likely already got a lot more in disability benefits than other people.
Jon Stewart is nowhere to be found and this guy just gets 1/3 of his regular pay for being out of work for a year and then fired. I know many veterans who get 100% mental health claims or lesser but combined with other ratings for 100% that never had anytime out of their job besides the scheming appointments before their enlistment is up yet they get 5 million plus in lifetime benefits. Make it make sense.
