A 100% disability rating is the highest disability rating the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can award a veteran for a service-connected condition. It signifies that the veteran's service-connected disability is considered extremely debilitating, significantly impacting their ability to function and maintain employment. This rating entitles the veteran to the maximum level of disability compensation and access to various VA benefits.
In essence, it represents a determination by the VA that a veteran's service-connected condition has rendered them totally disabled.
