Background

We think veterans injured on active duty should not be passed to civilian benefit system to be dealt with, and there should be a special system for injured veterans to apply for disability benefits.

Additional details

We think the journey to obtain civilian health assessment and benefits can be a gruelling affair. We think that military and civilian medical assessments can contradict each other, which could create an environment of misinformation and confusion.
