18(x) asks about illness, disability, or surgery. You could easily (beyond a reasonable doubt anyway) claim that you did not have a disability per se, even while collecting VA benefits if the condition was not significantly limiting. Per our previous discussion about the real nature of VA "disability".
Re: “benefits”, are we talking about money only, or do “benefits” include such things as VA loans, free tuition, etc? If someone has a “0%” rating and receiving no money are they on the radar?
