100% disabled

100% disabled

100% disabled is a term used by the Veterans Administration to classify retired military veterans as completely disabled. This label is used in referring to what type of benefits the veteran will receive. A subset of this label unemployable, which simply means that the veteran is not technically 100% disabled but due to their disability they are no longer able to work in their given field; hence unemployable. These two labels are important because in deciding which benefits the veteran receives, or how much, they must be properly classified as 100% disabled, unemployable, or both.
