It's official

[pecunium]

I am a disabled vet.

The actual percentage is croggling, and the effects will be good, and (honestly) a bit life changing.

I am rated 80 percent disabled. I get a pension. If I read it right I also get PX privileges (I can go back onto the Presidio of Monterey again).

I don't know if it gets me schooling (I think I might be able to get some rehab money). I don't know what it gets me by way of tuition breaks in Calif.

I'll have to look into it.

It's a lot to digest.

That's kind of what I was thinking. As for the guilt factor - the recognition for you does not actually hurt others; it may help them (or well, not help, but be an indicator of improvement), if it means the military is now starting to recognize the suffering of some of its people. At least it offers hope for others.

And congrats, for the parts of this for which those are appropriate.
