I know someone who has gotten hurt on the job, with no fault of their own, and have been denied workers comp, because he worked to hard on his therapy to get back to work. He did everything he was told, made every appointment every check up,and are still giving him a hard time. They say he shouldn't have tried to go back to work so fast. He needed to keep his job, and they ultimately fired him. He was crushed by a back hoe bucket or something like that. So many people try to get something for nothing, I believe if a vet needs the benefits by all means he/she should have them, and so should the people out there hurt in their line of work. No person should get help, if they do not really need it, My ex step brother had barely worked when he "hurt his back"he has gotten his full disability since he was 22 or so, My father was almost denied because he kept getting stronger and then would return to work, he had a rare condition that would render him paralyzed, then he would get better go back to work, and then it would happen again. The last time, he never recovered fully and they wouldn't come to the hospital to see him, tried to do all this over the phone. My Dad passed away, and my ex step brother with his "Hurt Back, didn't hurt so bad as he stole every piece of scrap, and the like,(that my Dad worked his butt off to have) heaving it into his truck to sell it for what every he could get, to use it on drugs. I mean moving big items like washer, dryer, refrigerator, etc! Makes me sick! I also know a few people that have been denied and truly should have it, doctors fighting for them and they are still denied!
Yes, I can see them doing revaluations, it just makes sense , but to deny someone that has the facts right in front of them is just plain wrong.
No one was trying to be disrespectful to vets. No honest vet, would try to get something for nothing, At least the vets in my family wouldn't.
