Tom, I get that $2700/mo. I work, so I'm not entitled to Social Security, as the SS rating system isn't the same as the VA. I'm saying those medical benefits aren't free for the working man, because they cost me whatever hourly I would make. $2700 may seem a lot, but I pay my ex $1800 of that in alimony.
Perhaps I'm one of the 20%, because I'm a veteran rated at 100% disability, service-connected. I'm wheelchair bound, one arm paralyzed, yet still working full time. I find the VA system is great if you're retired, but incredibly poor for those who have a job. Many times I have to take time off to deal with VA red tape, deficiencies and misunderstanding, and I get paid hourly, so it comes out of my pocket.
