Insult to Injury
An extensive investigation by US News and a new Army inspector general's report reveal that the system for determining veteran's benefits is beset by ambiguity and riddled with discrepancies. Indeed, Department of Defense data examined by US News and military experts show that the vast majority - nearly 93 percent - of disabled troops are receiving low ratings, and more have been graded similarly in recent years. What's more, ground troops, who suffer the most combat injuries from the ubiquitous roadside bombs, have received the lowest ratings.
