I feel like an ass saying this but ive seen too much of it to not say it ... a lot of fraudulent exagerated disability claims. A "disabled" vet in his 40s who helped me move last year is on lifetime disability, just bought a new house and just collects his money. Not to mention the fake ptsd claims I have seen. You were never deployed over seas but claim ptsd, really? I know a husband wife combo that both get a large check every month for ptsd ... while he does home renovation work and drives his crotch rocket motorcycle like an a hole.

On the flip side, I tried to help a vietnam vet who was exposed to agent orange but the VA didnt diagnose his cancer until it was terminal .. when just basic adequate medical attention would have discovered it a lot sooner. That was at the huge VA hospital in winchester w va.
