What is the review process for disability?

How hard is it to get a disability rating?

To receive a rating of 100 percent, there must be sufficient evidence to support the severity of the service-connected condition. This can come from medical documentation as well as testimony from friends, family, co-workers, and others who can attest to the seriousness of the disability.

What is the physical disability score?
