Do you believe that some individuals exploit the VA disability ratings system?

As I near retirement, I’ve been evaluating the VA rating system more closely. Throughout my service, I sustained numerous injuries, some of which have had lasting, lifelong effects. While browsing message boards about VA benefits, I’ve noticed what appears to be a trend of some individuals exploiting the system. I don’t intend to minimize anyone’s injuries, but when I left the Army after my first enlistment, I didn’t feel compelled to pursue a 100% disability rating from the VA. It’s frustrating to see how the VA is inundated with claims, especially from those who served only a year and were discharged for misconduct, yet still seek substantial benefits.
