Yes some of us are in pain every day from our enlistment. Things you see you can't unsee and they stay in your head and pop up any time they want. Suffering from back and foot pains are dismissed by the VA because no records of past complaints after service. I didn't know what sleep apnea was when I was in, but couldn't sleep and napped during the day always tired. I drank 2liter cokes or Pepsi just for the caffeine kick to stay awake. My stomach hurt all the times from ruined chow hall food or mre. I ate pepcid like candy for the Gerd. Didn't know what that was either. I was told not to complain to keep ones on my records. Now I'm hurting and paying the price for the VA denial run around.

Quoted: This is very common. I work with a lot of vets in the DOD who brag about how they rip off the government for "headaches" or "back pain" or sleep apnea. The sad thing is that it tarnishes the vets who actually do deserve disability. View Quote Yup. I knew a body builder with 100% disability for similar shit. Guy was built like a linebacker and continued to work at the gym part time just enough to keep his free access but not lose his bennies. #honor |

I know a retired Gunny that walked away with a 80-90 percent rating. Worked on DoS contracts for years and has been arrested twice for domestic battery and was detained last year for stalking.

Quoted: Lotta that going around. There’s an almost cult of Jr Enlisted support functions that share tips on VA stuff to ensure they “get what’s owed” to them. This stuff really pisses me off. View Quote I worked with (not for) a Fed LE agency where they mostly hired 10-point vets when that was common. They were posting classes where vets could meet up and learn how to claim certain disabilities and what phrases to use with the evaluating docs. It was one of the things that really disenchanted me with our VA Disability system. I will say, in defense of the tard in the article, I have a really fucked up lateral movement with weakness of the joint in my left shoulder, and nerve damage in my left arm, and I can do a lot of other heavy lift movements in the gym. |

Quoted: My son was wounded in action in Iraq. The VA assigned him 40% disability. He gets disgusted with guys who falsely claim PTSD or other problems to get money. View Quote He’s very likely under rated. As he gets older he is likely to have symptoms manifest for other conditions presumptive to “gulf war” service. |

Quoted: One of my old girlfriend's brothers claimed ptsd because some soldiers got killed while he was in boot camp. Apparently, he got some kind of disability from it too. The bad thing is her other brother served and actually saw combat and has actual ptsd. They wouldn't do shit for him. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I used to work with a guy who claimed PTSD who had never been near combat. He was a radio repair guy. He fixed the radio for a guy who got killed a month later and that caused his PTSD. One of my old girlfriend's brothers claimed ptsd because some soldiers got killed while he was in boot camp. Apparently, he got some kind of disability from it too. The bad thing is her other brother served and actually saw combat and has actual ptsd. They wouldn't do shit for him. Who is “they”? Veterans Benefits? VA medical? Nobody is going to for him to seek compensation and treatment. He needs to advocate for himself. |

View Quote It’s not just vets, it’s “the disability system.” Hell, in some states, people are PAID taxpayer money to care for “disabled” family members who have irritable bowel syndrome & fibromyalgia. Great idea, paying people to not work….how Democratically progressive…. |

I don’t like scamming. I also know that regardless of scammers vets have been screwed over for benefits since the beginning of time so it shouldn’t be made more difficult to get them.
The chances they spent more investigating this that he supposedly got is high, and the chances that corporate largesse and foreign aid completely and totally dwarfing this kind of grift makes me not care at all. I’m more upset about all the vets that never get the benefits they should get. If I thought for a nano second that this shitbags money would have gone to a deserving vet, I’d be mad. It would t have. If this guy had a three letter title next to his name and did it for a hundred times as much money he’d be lauded as a successful member of the “don’t hate the player hate the game” club. |

He worked for me for awhile, and then when I went legit I told him I would have to put him on the books. Couldn't do that, it would mess up his payouts, so I found someone else. |

I helped a 50-year old veteran file his first claim this year. He wrongly believed since he never deployed he didn’t qualify. He slipped on some ice covered stairs at his duty station, was knocked unconscious and hospitalized. Never filed a claim. Has had an endless series of entry level jobs since discharge.
Was able to get a very fast favorable decision for cervical arthritis with an inferred TBI condition deferred. Getting him enrolled in VA health care too. He’s suffering from some imposter syndrome so there’s a chance he will flake out on the TBI exam. Hopefully he sticks with it and gets compensated for his service connected conditions. |

Perhaps he’s not lying given that he apparently never squats.

As a combat wounded disabled vet I say that we need to get rid of VA disability.
If you were in the military, you got paid a paycheck. Once you get out, that paycheck stops. U.S. taxpayer should owe you nothing after that. |

LOL. This is the tip of the iceberg. There's TONS of fraud in the VA system. Sucks for those vets who really need the assistance. Scammers are stealing resources that could really help them out.
