Yes, he is 100% service connected. He's coping best he can considering. He was a grunt, 101st Airborne and now a quad. He was originally on military disability when he was discharged but converted to VA. They take good care of him despite a few bumps in the road. He was discharged back in 1988.

Make sure you take advantage of all the benefits you are entitiled to including vehicle and adaptive equipment as well as adaptive housing grants. You deserve it.

PS: Also keep track of all your new symptoms in case you need a rating eval. Jim started out at 75% disabled and is now 100%
