For sure you can get a big number, I've flown with guys at 80%.
But I would be careful about what specific conditions the VA (or whoever assists with your VA app) helpfully suggests that you claim.
If it was in your mil record you have to report it anyway, but convincing the VA that something is bad enough for a rating, while trying to convince the FAA it's not that bad at all is a dangerous line to walk.
