Just because there’s those that abuse the VA disability system doesn’t mean that everyone does. It also doesn’t mean that those that have made huge sacrifices for our country should suffer because there’s abuse. Fix the broken system instead of punishing those that are legitimately disabled because of their service.
I would still rather pay the student loan debt of our service men and women than reloading EBT cards for some lazy ghetto rat.
but almost everyone at the VA system thinks every disabled vet is out to milk the system, at least in my experience. I have a spine injury that was wrote off as a sprain, then DJD then the equivalent of sore muscles, and for 11 years was told by the VA that everything looks normal on my Xrays and scans. I appealed my BS rating and the nurse that gave the exam accused me of malingering. they send me to a pain mgt doc for a hernia nerve block shot, so I mention my back to him. he immediately says, wow you must be in a lot of pain, when did this happen? I told him 2006. he identified 2 herniated discs and what looked like a fracture. I mention it to my VA doc and he says "oh, umm yeah about that, we can get you in to get a shot for that too." shot wore off in 5 weeks and have more pain now than before. VA still refuses to do [bleep]. I signed up with the DAV, and they are silent, they just wanted another to add to their roles to show they were "helping vets" mean time I'm still in pain, nerve issues and temporary paralysis, etc. and the VA doesn't give 2 [bleep]. fuggem all.
