The percentage is a rating of how disabled you are considered. The higher the percentage, the more the monthly disability payment is. (tax free too). At a 100% disabled rating, along with the larger monthly amount, there is also a lot of other benefits like no property tax or license plate fees. The benefits vary from state to state.
It may be confusing to a civilian, but 100% disabled does NOT mean a person is in a wheel chair.....it is just a rating system the VA uses to determine how much they ****ed you up while in the military. (think agent orange)
