The usual aches and pains won't affect your 1C, I know guys with pretty major aches and pains who have no issues with the FAA. But you obviously don't want a VA rating for things like TBI, PSTD, sleep apnea, etc if you want to fly.

If you don't need the money or don't feel good about taking it, donate it to wounded warriors.
