The VA Compensation and Pension system is entirely different from the Social Security Disability system. If this person you describe has in fact been awarded 100% service connected disability he is receiving anywhere from $4000 to $7000 dollars a month, tax free, plus potential additional payments for dependents, free medical care, and for aid & attendance if warranted.

You left out those little details. If he is receiving SSDI as well, all this for an anxiety disorder, then he is riding high. He should thank God every night he was born in America.

According to the current data found on Va.gov a single person with no wife and no dependents classified at 100% service connected recieves 2,769 dollars per month in compensation. This does not include health care. That same individual because of the 100% rating is entitled to health care and dental. But don’t let that fool you.

Currently that same individual above sees an out sourced dentist at the VA’s request. The certified dentist who has been approved to do work on the vets teeth and has been paid to work on the vet’s teeth, recommends 2 crowns for the vet. Yet the VA will not pay for the crowns and denies that the vet needs the crowns.

That same VA healthcare you speak of to this very day denies that any drug has or will cause Diabetes. Even as the Vet was in the hospital being treated for it the drug companies starting April 2001 came out and said yes our anti-psytropics as a severe side effect cause the blood sugar to rise in the persons taking those drugs. The diabetes is actually a secondary condition onset by treating the primary one.

Have to ask you where in the world did you come up with the 4,000 to 7,000 dollars a month figure from?

Again, if this same person was being treated under a private insurance or under Bummercare, you’d be outraged at his treatment.
Free medical care? Yeah right since when did anyone get “free” anything in this country?

No I stated he was recieving, Social Security and therefore reciving SSD.
