Do I have to quit my job?

[Splinter]

Hello everyone. See Below for what I received from VA

 

A little about me currently. I have a job that is very low stress (work nights no people no stress) very secure because I work in a mountain so im surrounded by granite. I work on computers so it engages my mind and keeps me as active as possible and is my passion. So my question is do I have to quit my job? Thanks!

I do resent being called an entitlement case.  There are people who have never worked a day in their life receiving entitlements.  I think the VA should be classified as an obligation.

Based on the VA benefit information, you seem to qualify for special monthly compensation due to your service-connected disabilities.

I realize this topic is old, but I wanted to share my opinion. Sounds like you have a really great job to dream about. However, leaving your job ultimately depends on your circumstances and what makes you happy. If your current job is genuinely satisfying and stress-free, you may not need to quit.
