Sadly, i dare say in the US, except for advancements in Medical, disabled vets have a somewhat rough time these days :(

Probably not as bad as Byfield, but compared to the standard of living now to back then, probably not that different when matched against the general population.

100% disabled vets in America get a tax free allowance of $4,000 a month, plus free medical care, plus a great deal of support including full free college to pursue the possibility of employment, which won’t reduce the disability pay at all.

I’d say America is taking care of them pretty well compared to Dickensian conditions.

i watch Caleb Hammers financial audit show on youtube and while I'm sure it's not all accurate, every single veteran they have on that show (keep in mind these are people with money iasues) who without exception get a package that would qualify as a part time salary, many get more than a full salary and often work other jobs. The system is healthy
