The thing about benefits (and receiving them) is that the more people that file for them, the more paperwork it creates, and the more time until the people that deserve the benefits receive them. People applying for benefits that "do not deserve them" are partially the cause of the "delay" part of the old VA mantra "delay and deny until they die". I'm not saying it's right, or that it should be one way or another. I'm just explaining how the VA universe works.
