Minor (but critical!) nit here: you must disclose on your FAA medical that you are receiving disability payments.

That won’t affect the issuance of your medical (assuming the underlying cause itself does not affect it); but, failure to report can get your medical rescinded & ticket action to follow....

How? In the system when you fill out the form? Just tell your doctor?

Both. Check the box that asks the question on the form; then the doc will ask about it (along with any other “Yes” answers you gave). It’s a non-issue—if you properly report it. Some guys have gottten in hot water for failure to do so (inadvertently or otherwise...).

What about a broken tail bone? Any idea how much VA % would be, and if it would hinder a Class 1?

Nobody can answer that but the VA FAA, depends on how it affects you today. For things like that, you can typically get a 1C just fine, even if it still hurts a little, and you can get some disability rating for the residual aches and pains. If it's healed and doesn't bother you much maybe 5-10%?
