         More Veterans Eligible for Traumatic Injury Payments

The Department of Veterans Affairs will soon begin making retroactive payments to troops who suffered severe injuries outside a combat zone between Oct. 7, 2001, and Nov. 30, 2005, under the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection Program.

The benefit, which VA said could be worth up to $25,000 to $100,000 per qualifying veteran, is for those severely injured while serving in the military anywhere outside a combat theater.

Service members who were hurt in a combat zone already were eligible for the benefit.

I got mixed feelings on this allowance.  In some cases, I feel it is warranted but not for all outside combat areas.   A person who has a car accident while serving in Hawaii is a good example.  Just mixed feelings on this.

The question you've raised is a good one. At the VA's Servicemembers Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection website the FAQ reveals that this is not a free government program but rather one from which a premium, albeit modest, is deducted from the servicemembers monthly pay.

If they've paid for the insurance and suffer traumatic injury they're entitled to the benefits.
