What if an Army Ranger or Navy Seal gets hurt during the selection process? Would it not stand to reason thatthey should be compensated for that injury. Or maybe an Airman who has a piece of equipment break and injures them whilst working on an aircraft? The disability was caused by being in the service so they definitely shouldn't feel bad about receiving compensation for it.

No. If you got injured in the performance of your duties and have a disability from it, you rate it. I got so many injuries while in the Navy from this and that accidents, I never thought about getting any type of VA benefit after I got out. Since I distrust the VA System, I'll just carry on as is.

No. Once you find the VA disregards your claims, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE recorded medically, you will get mad becuase you and your rep know you rate this stuff. If you see reviewers telling you you, by regs, rate this, thing, but we are not giving it to you, you will get pissed as you go through the system with factual records for your case and wonder why you are being denied with no good reason.

I still feel bad when I see combat injured soldiers although I am only have a small award. But then when my numerous injuries remind me I was hurt in service to my country, it eases my conscious some what.

No ,a veteran should not feel bad about this issue ,You need all the help you can get as it is, And the fact is Its all service related , and the V.A looks into it.One example is being in different stages of Co-pays which can cost greatly, and have to having to decide whether to eat or pay for your medication if needed
