What exactly does 80% disabled mean?

It means the Department of Veteran Affairs has found me to be 80% disabled with the service-connected conditions that I currently have. Monetary entitlements include $1430 per month; medical care and coverage for all service-connected conditions as well as medications for those conditions. There are a bunch of other little things, but that's the summary of it.

What type of medical conditions do you have?

I chose C only because your wife still has to work, otherwise i'd pick D. As a man it's hard to live with your wife being on the grind and even taking on extra work, while you have the ability to work, but don't.

Gr. I selected "Nope." for the first one and it reset my choice for the second one back to "A." I meant to select "D" if that helps your decision.

From someone going to school full-time and working over 30 hours a week, just go to school and don't work. It would be a hell of a lot easier and less stressful.

I?d definitely need something to occupy my time that?s for sure.

I?m a very active person.

First thing I did after I quit needing to work was travel a bunch of the places I wanted to go but couldn't because I was too busy working. For some people, they don't see their job as work so in essence, they are not working either. My job sucked and was definitely work and I am glad I don't ever have to do it again. After I did some traveling I came back and went to school while doing stuff I wanted to do but couldn't because it wouldn't pay the bills (and still doesn't)
