    That’s how it should be, yeah. But some people say “well you have to prove that it was service-connected!” and if the service is classified, you can’t.

    Really, we should just have universal healthcare so that this isn’t even a question in the first place.

      It’s tied to VA compensation, which is why it’s an issue. Otherwise they would agree it’s service connected and help you out.

      When I was seeking help for my deployment related PTSD, they sent me a bill. “The fuck is this?” Well, you have to file a claim. I filed, three times. Every time they lost it, file again.

      Eventually got it done a few years ago after the process changed, but it’s so stupid.
