Again, thank you all so much!
The members of this forum are incredibly supportive for all veterans. I guess my feelings come out of sense that there are a lot of veterans who are in much worse shape than me. Most of my injuries were the result of doing some PT. But, I often feel like if I wasn't in the military I would still be doing the exact same job, and so why do these conditions warrant compensation? In the end, this doesn't seem like a typical disability insurance policy to me in that for the most part, if you can continue to work, your disability pay is reduced by the income you make. Clearly, this is different, because I'm doing just fine from a financial standpoint, and still get the pay.
I don't want to sound conceited on an internet forum, and hope I'm not coming across as much. I guess we're all in the same boat in a way. I hope others fair as well in their disability claim process as I did.
