Don't discount the value of "service related" disability with no compensation. What that means is you currently aren't hampered/disabled by your service-related injuries. If, in the future, you develop other problems related to these previously identified areas, you can then refile and claim VA disability.

While that doesn't help you get a job right now, it doesn't mean what you've got is worthless.

On a slight tangent, with the new laws allowing federal agencies to share information with the FAA, is having VA disability good for those of us with first class medicals? Or is this a pandora's box of potential liability from the FAA AME perspective? In other words, we're holding ourselves out as "fit to fly" and yet we may be receiving disability for hearing, or eyesight, or some other service-related disability?
