There is a lot of misinformation about the system that gets used for political talking points by the GOP. I know a whole bunch of retired Navy guys getting big disability payments every month from the VA ON TOP of their Navy retirements WHILE working full time as x-ray techs. For example a retired Navy guy gets $1600 a month from the Navy, files a disability claim, and then the VA adds $1500 to that (plus back pay from the day you got out!). So they get $3000 a month, half of which is tax free.
The VA has problems but you don't hear about the good stories like what I just told you.
