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

I have to say, that it took me YEARS to file for disability compensation because I did not serve during wartime. I felt undeserving compared to those who had. But, eventually, with much encouragement from my VA therapist I decided to file. I decided I needed to tell my story, and acknowledge the cost to my person for my service.

Why exactly? Do you think losing a leg in a training accident is somehow less of an injury than losing a leg in combat? I'm not understanding your point of view here.

No way, the compensation is for service related not for combat related.

While most of my compensation is combat related, not all is. And, it has to be service related, not comedic related.

Of course not.

NO,THEY SHOULD NOT FEEL BAD AT ALL. INFACT, WE SHOULD GET MORE

No. And shame on you for trying to emotionalize or cause psychological trauma to persons with injuries into categories that have nothing to do with combat or not.

SGT (Join to see) it doesn’t matter if the injuries happened in Combat, the latest one I keep seeing everywhere is service around Camp Lejune

If you put the time in combat or not service is service the VA is there for combat an non-combat so do not feel bad we get older an things show in later year's.

No!
