Man, if more people were to understand the MEB/VA disability rating system they would know better. Service in any branch is HARD work and they do not make it easy to understand or get through the ridiculous process that it is to even get on the disabled roster.
In the VA disability rating system 1+1=0.6. To the point, you are given a rating of a percentage of your ability to continue serving your contract. So if youre considered 50% disabled for your primary complaint, any other disability complaint is not added directly to that value. It is considered another percentage of the portion left after the previous complaint so; 50% + 50% = 75%
Getting 100% disabled from the VA is a huge pain in the ass, because if you know anything about percentages it would technically be impossible to attain 100%
Facts. Also a lot of people that exit the military do not understand how dreadfully fucked their body and mind is until about 55 when their shit falls apart and their non-military buddies are running marathons because they need a new challenge, but they’re struggling moving at all.
And to your point - the VA distance from 90% disabled to 100% disabled is another 90%. People that are getting 100% for multiple cumulative issues are truly jacked.
