    question What to expect when applying for Social Security disability?

    In all seriousness, a denial. Don't get your hopes up. I've gone through applying, being denied, and then filing an appeal, which is where I am currently in the process for SSDI.

    question Does improving mental health mean a lower VA disability rating?

    Feeling better and having fewer symptoms might lead to a review, but it's unlikely your rating would be completely removed, especially if you need to stay on medication to maintain that improvement.

    question Can disabled veterans with base access eat at the mess hall?

    This may not be helpful to @KnightKombat, but from what I know, it's similar at Army bases, except for the Army Birthday.

    I don't think so. Do you miss the food that much? 🤔

    question Why were my COPD and lung cancer combined as one rating?

    Just like with other conditions, you can't pyramid multiple pulmonary ratings.
