Only reason I ask is because someone I know had this happen and they are receiving disability payments. I personally believe that if the person serves honorably and is injured during their time in service through no fault of their own they should be eligible for disability payments.

I don’t believe that people that get diabetes or some other disability after they are out of the military should get these benefits.

Oh ok...
I see your point, but sometimes medical problems can occur later in life for vets... My uncle served in Nam and was in the US Air Force, he was exposed to Agent Orange and got cancer related to the Agent Orange.. I am not sure if his medical was covered or not, cause this was an uncle I didn’t know very well sadly.. I think he would be covered by the VA, but I really don’t know
