I have been in the Military for 4 yrs as 11 Charlie or a Indirect Fire Infantrymen but the self hand experience with handling a 60mm-81mm or even 120mm makes sense that we do get physical and mental issues with using these weapon systems

When I was in a Stryker 120mm mortar vehicle, I would feel dizzy after the mortar was fired. I was the squad leader, so I was right near the base of the mortar when it went off.

As an 11C mortarman in the army definitely believe we should get disability due to over pressure.

This should really be something the fact that it isn't is embarrassing so many soldiers leave the military after being a mortarman the damages caused by it are ridiculously bigger than you think
