Re: va disability benefits

You may or may not be entitled to VA disability benefits. It has nothing to do with participation in combat operations. The only way to find out is to apply to the VA. They will evaluate your case and make an eligibility determination. Call the nearest VA facility to get assistance with your application. The only way to know is to ask. Best of luck to you, and thank you for your service to our country.
