WTH??? I believe you’re confusing VA healthcare benefits with VA benefits in general.
To be eligible for VA benefits, a veteran must have served on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training, with a discharge other than dishonorable. Certain benefits are also available to family members of service members. The VA has a multitude of benefits available for veterans ranging from educational opportunities, to VA backed home loans to various types of healthcare, to burial benefits in a National Cemetery. You do not need to be service disabled in order to take advantage of what the VA has to offer. This is a little payback for a young man or woman who at some point in their lives wrote a check payable to the U.S. Government for an amount: “Up to and including my life.”
