Should Veterans feel bad about being awarded and receiving VA disability compensation for non-combat related injuries?

All Vets, all branches! First and foremost, my disdain, for the Veterans SCD benefits "process"!
Is that, the very Veteran Service Officers [VSO]. That are in place, to aid the veteran obtain, their SCD earned benefits! Do more to Disqualify the veteran! Then too Qualify the veteran!
Whom served with Honor, in Combat [Survived two mine strikes while on board the USS PRINCETON CG-59/1988-1992]. During Operation Desert Storm! And earning a Honorable Discharge!
Any veterans have the contact information, to an attorney that they have used, or know!
That helped them in suing the V.A.! For their repeated denial of increased veterans compensation/ rating! As well as the DAV, for dereliction of duty! The details/timeline, that I've dealt with the VA/DAV. Are enough to be a Masters or PhD thesis! Follow-up, thanks in advance, and Smooth Sailing! SM2/RDC/MTS

No

No not at all. There are some I have my doubts about due to how they would dodge work while they were active and I question,but the majority deserve what they receive for their in service injuries and long term health issues from arduous duties. So no take it and move on to live with the pains.

Absolutely not. I am a retired battalion chaplain working as a professional counselor, along with my clinic director who is a retired CPT MP battalion commander, now and I meet with veterans frequently who are suffering for mental disorders because of their service just as much an a soldier may suffer from a physical wound. I want to encourage all to please seek mental health services if you are dealing with issues. I know that I as well as my colleagues around the country and deployed as civilians are here to serve you. Mental health is just as important as physical health and we want to help all our brothers and sisters in service. Hooah!

No way. In contrast, there are many I know I'm currently active duty with trying to get out of military with 100% medical benefits claiming they breathed in some burning garbage for 2 months. To the other extreme, my granddad never got benefits and he was a boilermaker for 20 years in WWII and Korea and was never given help.
Only reason I bring that up is if you're in between these two, you should be fine in receiving benefits.

While I was in the Reserve I was driving home from drill on a Sat PM, never finished that drive. The next 20 days were spent in the hospital as a result of the injuries sustained. These injuries were considered to be in the line of duty (LOD - yes) as you are considered to be on duty from the time you leave your residence and until you return to your residence. I continued in the Reserves with a profile, got back on Active duty with the profile and would have stayed to get 20 years of active time. Unfortunately I came down with blood clots in my lungs for no reason they could find (I still think burn pits exposure had something to do with it), and was put on a blood thinner. Went to a Medical board, who despite me still being able to my job, having just completedmy Masters degree via the Army Baylor program and continue with the same profile, decided to retire me as all of the earlier issues were considered and counted towards my disability score. I was about a year and a quarter from being promoted at the time I was retired.

This is the true story of a former Marine officer. He was on AD on the West Coast. His unit was engaged in some drill. He was in a 2 1/2 truck, at the tailgate, the truck pulled forward and he was pitched out. He broke a bone or two and the Corps medically discharged him. He was receiving a VA non-combat 40% disability. He went to work for the Post Office. He made no bones about how his injuries occurred or receiving a VA disability in his relating to me his story.

Yes, as long as there is one veteran out there who was injured in the line of duty (Physical & Mental) or one combat veteran left out who has suffered PTSD in silence.... I know a guy who was in Thailand during Vietnam, got drunk and fell off of a truck, got a small scar over his eye, and got 15% for facial disfiguring for the past 52 years, now he is getting 100% because his drinking and life caused kidney failure.... He has a substantial retirement from the Post Office as an mid level supervisor... So now he is getting 35K and change from the VA & 50K from the post office....

I don't think so, I lost a lot of hearing working in server rooms and near generators. It makes college pretty tough when I can't sit near the front. It's nice to know that the VA admits that being in the service lowered my quality of life and they're taking care of it.
