### Providing Encouragement to Veterans
I just want to provide some encouragement to those who may be held back by arguments like “I probably don’t qualify for anything anyway”, or “I don’t want to deal with the BS of all of the paperwork”, or “I didn’t even have it that bad, really” or “the guys I served with had it rough–I got out easy!”.
I’m a vet of OIF1/2. I was a reservist, and never had to seek treatment for any injuries sustained during my deployment. I think of myself as a pretty healthy guy now, and definitely luckier than most of the folks I deployed with.
#### Overcoming Internal Obstacles
Here are some of the dumb arguments in my head that kept me from starting this process decades ago:
– “You’re pretty healthy, what would you even have a claim against?”
– “No IEDs, no shrapnel, no PTSD (a lie)–be happy you got home safe!”
– “The other Joes with you had it way worse!” (We lost a few guys, a bunch of guys went on a mission I was supposed to go on, and all of them got F-ed up, several had some severe PTSD and other issues after returning home)”
– “If you apply for benefits and disability, you’re taking away resources from the ones who REALLY need it!”
### How AI Legalese Decoder Can Help
These were the main ones which kicked around in my head each time my uncle or a Joe I deployed with would suggest I apply. Also, I HATE paperwork, and I HATE having to relive (what I can remember of) the times I spent there. I felt like I should be happy that I’m relatively fine, and get on with my life. Heck, to a degree, I feel like I’m on borrowed time anyway, because during OIF 2, when I was flying out of BIAP, the C-130 I was on got fired at by some SA missile, where we had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid it and drop flak. So after my deployment and things like that, I feel like I should be happy to just be walking around okay.
The reality is this: We all did a hard job which included a lot of crap that we had to deal with, and whether or not you served in a combat zone, have a purple heart, or have worn a tie in a staff position your whole career. You owe it to yourself to take the time, and get what is owed you.
Do it.

Ā ****** just grabbed a
Here’s the deal, for anyone who happens to see my comment:
Congress already allocated the money. They do so every year. Every time a vet doesn’t file for compensation, the pot gets smaller. Every time a vet doesn’t walk through the doors of a VA, the pot gets smaller.
For those of you in government work, you understand how budgets work; but the gist is this: if you don’t spend the money, the pot gets smaller.
Congress would be HAPPY to reallocate those funds to some other asinine overseas adventure, or some congressperson’s pet project.
Help yourself out and more importantly: Help your brother/sister out. Fuck the idea of “taking away” from someone else. We help each other by engaging with the system (no matter how fucked up it may be.) My advice: Get connected with VA healthcare. ALL you have to do is show up once a year for your physical. File for benefits. ALL you have to worry about is getting denied. Remember, its a marathon not a sprint. Be honest, be prepared, go to the fucking doctor.
Love you all.
And when/IF you get benefits; JUST SHUT THE FUKš
Most of the guys who joined during my time messed up and fell victim to peer pressure. We didn’t wanna be, “a bitch.” At the time and now Most of us are trying to convince someone we’re a bitch. Lol
Glad you posted this. Someone told me i had a sense of entitlement bc i want my appeal completedā¦.
Hmmmm, interesting enough our letters literally say ENTITLED TO š¤
You know, Iāve learned a lot over the years and one of those things is that all you old salts on her have full reason to hate on boot camp and ait āveteransā because of all the bs the military has put yall through.
I was in for a hot minute and I always wanna go back in despite reading all the horror stories because Iām one of those weirdos who got lucky with VA benefits after less than a year in. VA gave them to me but I had to fight to get them to 100% and let me tell you why and I hope it helps give people a perspective like how yall given me the perspectives Iāve needed to help me learn to not hate myself so much.
I have ADHD but never diagnosed as a kid because I had a kick ass childhood and my parents raised me right but didnāt understand mental health and I think they didnāt know I had adhd. (Itās hella under diagnosed in women apparently)
After the army I applied for benefits because I was honorably chaptered and they gave me a high mental health rating (30%) for my time in and it made me feel guilty. I also got 10% because I ignored some small injuries that I thought you were supposed to ignore. (From in the service, I was treating them with the base docs but I was lying about how much pain I was actually in because I didnāt wanna get kicked out like my dad who blew his knee out in boot camp)
Before I applied for benefits, I used my moms insurance when I came home and they ignored the idea of me having ADHD at first until I had a doctor give me Wellbutrin which helped at first but after a while made me manic and have tremors to the point where I stopped drawing which is my favorite hobby.
I nearly killed myself because my mom got mad at me for being a dick to my brother and yelled at me āyou quit the army for a guyā !!! I didnāt technically but he manipulated to the point where I was suicidal because he dead ass would make fun of me then tell me itās a joke even when I always told the mother fucker to stop and he did this specifically in the army and they gave me a rating for it because my suicidal ideation started in the military as annoying as that sounds.
Anywho, TLDR : the VA wouldnt medicate my mental health properly at first because my ADHD wasnāt service connected. They gave me a higher rating a few years later when Optum evaluated me after a second hospital visit and I got 80% but it still wasnāt enough for my VA doctor to help me.
Civilian doctor told me he wouldnāt stop the Wellbutrin because I smoke too much weed and I was smoking the weed to help with the tremors.
I had to get a lawyer who was very skeptical of even helping me due to my time in service but helped me because I was honest about what happened and although the VA has saved my life in a sense they also made a small screw up by not treating my adhd because now I am permanently disabled by their standards.
Iāve contributed to try and go to school and work and havenāt been successful except in education. I still work hard though but Iāve learned through therapy that I just miss the army too much so now I gotta dedicate myself to going back and going reserves so I can be friendly neighborhood spider man at home but get sent to be a soldier again and do soldier shit.
Truly, I miss the heck out of the army – I excelled at everything except rucking but you need to ruck in the army so imma train religiously for the next few years while I try and earn myself a waiver for a reserve contract.
This subreddit and the kindness and support of other veterans who are able to not judge as harshly have been the biggest help in my recovery I think and I know the army was a little to good to me so imma try and pay it back because thatās what I gotta do.
Edit:
I also want to add that I found out it was the tremors due to the fact that I have smoked concentrated weed consistently, other family members im close with have and nobody has ever reported tremors or shakes from overdoing their weed.
Itās not easy.
I got out in 06 and should have applied right away but my mind was wandering off and just got progressively worse till I finally decided to seek help in 2019.
Iām 100% P&T scheduler now, VSO helped me to 40% in 2016 and I managed to get to 100% on my own and you can too! Just do your research, get evidence whether now as in doctorās appointments or paperwork past incidents/appointments and hurry up and wait because you WILL wait, but itāll be well worth it!
Itās not easy, but it can be done so long as you have the right circumstances!

Yea very true I didn’t even file anything until like 3 years ago due to not knowing anything about VA benefits. Besides medical insurance VA education and home loans they didn’t talk oe educate us on anything like that back then during the 90’s.Even before I got out I also had severe pain when running walking up stairs etc basically just blew it off.Which caused me to have lower back pain bad hips etc.So you imma try and get as much if not more than I am entitled to currently sitting at 50% with about 19 claims were denied and waiting to see a judge. Been sitting I believe 3 years probably die before my name is up.lol
Youāre a taxpaying American on top of being a veteran/guardsman/reservist.
100% is barely enough to get by in the majority of the US if you have a family with kids. It helps but does not cover the cost for everything.
What do you guys think is the best method to use if you want to increase your benefits. Not going to lie I was that guy that said, ābe happy you got anythingā or āim not that messed up I probably wonāt get anymoreā.
I also need to find out what percentage I am at because I am ignorant to that fact as well.
Iām so glad you posted this, I just convinced my husband to see what benefits he qualifies for. Heās seen so many combat vets and are friends with a few that he feels like he doesnāt deserve the money as much as they do but just recently heās started working with veterans that have never deployed and are sitting on 100%. I donāt think he sees what me and my family sees when he talks about his wellness. This has convinced me to push harder to seek help and advocate for him. Thank you
I need help filing my claim. I have an intent to file already on my benefits, I just donāt want to mess anything up.
Careful with that “educate yourself” stuff… lots of VBA employees lurking around reddit that would take offense to that… they just can’t stand the notion of a non-VA employee somehow understanding the law better than they do… (Sarcasm. I agree. Educate yourself)
Iāve been out for 8 years after being in for 8, and I was happy to get my 10% and never have to deal with the Va again. I was so angry when I got out that I just wanted to be done with all of it, I never even got a veteran ID card. Now that Iām a little older and a little bit wiser, and having previously been diagnosed with anxiety and depression from the VA, I feel like I should be able to link those to my tinnitus. Iām definitely not the type of person to strive for more than I deserve, but more than 10% would be nice.
Thanks, just sent mine in, I thought exactly šÆ as you just described & I got out Jan 1990, I just didnāt think about it. And hell to the yes nobody will know!!!

I need to do mine. I’ve been depressed for months. I have the documents filled out for my health records and I just need to file the claim docs and send it back to the DAV rep. ugh
What some vets think they ādeserveā and actually deserve may not align with reality and facts.Ā
what rating did you get ? Marine 03 from 05-09 asking. You basically hit all that iāve been telling myself and iām 36.
Great statement and I totally agree. Thank you all for your service.
Just curious, I heard there are professional services available to help you navigate this stuff (for us less savvy types)
Are there any that anyone could recommend? Or are our local reps always going to be the best resource
Reason I asked, is I tried my local, and he just sent me a pack let of paperwork that feels so overwhelming and confusing.
Yall Iām fighting to get service connected and I donāt know what to do anymore
I agree 100%, I was at 30% for 23 years and years progress things got worse, I never gave up and finally in March 2024 I finally got my 100%, I tell other Veterans out there don’t give up.
One lady where I work said that she doesn’t think veterans deserve all those benefits we get. I asked why and she said because a lot of them haven’t done anything to deserve it and that her mother is disabled and struggling. I told her well her mother should’ve raised her right hand der. Civilians are full of š©.
I posted today trying to decide if Iām eligible to file for something denied in a bdd 10 years ago right now. Thanks for this. More to think about!
I started 3 decades late because I never knew the system even existed. A fellow vet told me to file a claim for hearing loss. I didn’t think I qualified because I wasn’t retired or in a war.
I thought my disabilities were just part of the job and the Gov’t would say “tough luck”.
I didn’t report hardly anything while serving because of the “I don’t wanna look like a puss mentality”.
I started with 0% for hearing loss. Later claimed tinnitus and actually had to appeal it till I actually got it (MOS = Artillery).
Started claiming more things. Did some on my own, some with a lawyer, some with a VSO.
I never gave up on some issues I was sure were service connected. Multiple HLR’s (some good, some bad) and even 2 Law Judge decisions in my favor.
All in all, 10 years after receiving that 0% for hearing loss, I am now 100% P&T.
****DO NOT EVER FKING SURRENDER!!!****
All they can do is say No, but the Yes’s add up!
Have a Safe Memorial Weekend and keep our fallen Sisters & Brothers in your thoughts.
I felt guilty initially taking a medical retirement. 12 years of learning to handle mental illness, alcoholism (previously a teetotaler), and damage to family relationships, and a myriad of normal life difficulties. The reality is I don’t have my previous skillset or mental flexibility to deal with considerably normal situations.
My 4 year old asked me what was wrong with me Wednesday. I brushed it off trying not to make a big deal of a comment from a toddler. Then he said: “is it ’cause of the war?”
Knowing how diligently the government hounds tou for taxes you owe them, I have lost any hesitance to give medical raters the ugly, honest truth. I don’t think the government owes me anything. But, I know I lost a considerable amount of quality of life in honorable service to my country.
I can say with integrity, and pride: “Take everything that isn’t bolted down, and give nothing back”.
There will be those who try to fake disability or manipulate the system. Fuck ’em. Get representation from a VSO, a friend, a counselor, even a lawyer if necessary. If you have to prove your hurt and in need of compensation. File. File twice. File until you can fill out a claim by memory.
To any that disagree, or take issue with my communication, mea culpa. I am just so raw on this subject right now sometimes the bleeding comes through in my words.
Where can I. Get the best service rep? I live in the High Desert, San Bernandino County, CA. Thank you in advance.

How do you do it
Those jets probably cost more than taking care of us vets.
