I'm not sure you actually comprehend how the VA disability system works, how the percentages are determined, or how they combine into a final number. That's not meant as an insult, few people do. I didn't until I got knee-deep into it myself post intitial rating and additional medical events.

Congress set the law and percentages, and I will not criticize anyone for properly getting what congress authorized them. Full stop. (Notwithstanding the large numbers of folks who falsely claim conditions they don't really have, or more often, don't have at the claimed severity level - there is a whole cottage industry of 'providers' who will write DBQ's to your liking for a certain 'fee'. That's not what I'm talking about).

That said, lots of pilots here with legitimate 80/90/100% disability ratings, fully above board, and known by the FAA. You would be surprised how a couple large conditions can combine for such a rating. It is a common misconception that a 100% VA "Disability Rating" means you can't work, or walk, or... It is nothing of the sort. Nothing. It's unfortunate they use a % with the "disability rating", because it's not actually percent disabled - which leads to confusion. Further, few people realize there are many levels above "100%" for those who have lost limbs, need live-in assistance, etc. Go look up "SMC rates".

Unless you are talking about people who falsify their claim, I caution you not to question anyone's honor.
