#1 In related news; in my Fall 2007 "Shift Colors" newsletter ( for retired Sailors) there is an article about "Combat relates Special Compensation." I haven't read all the details yet, but if you have combat-related disabilities over 10% there is a special fund for you. the Navy website for this is: www.hq.navy.mil.corb.CRSCB/combatrelated.htm

#2 USN, the VA has been making such payments since at least 1972, IIRC. Check http://www.va.gov/ and click on VA Compensation. It's only for disabilities directly related to combat injuries. A friend of mine gets an extra $1300 a month because he was injured and had to bail out of his crashing aircraft, causing even more damage to his back and legs. That's above the $2100/month for a 100% disabled veteran.
