If you have a rating of 50% or higher you get the same treatment as someone with 100%. It doesn't matter if it's combat or non-combat as they're both service connected

Where the combat rating has a little more pull is for someone that is rated under 50%.

But, a 50% rated non-combat related vet will get a higher priority then a 40% combat rated vet.

The big key with getting VA coverage is the 50% rating.

And it is my understanding per my DAV rep. that if you have a Purple Heart you will have no co-pay regardless of your rating.
