What I do not understand is why these "out patients" are not sent home to recover while their service cases are adjudicated (normally takes 18 months).

I often think about just that.
Is it because if the wounded were sent home to get medical treatment, the public would see - first hand the cost of the war?
Reading about casualties in a newspaper is a far cry from going to see the doctor and running into soldiers with missing body parts, eh?
