Thanks for the concern... I do get 70% service connected disability for my PTSD and it gets me about $1,230 every month and still should be able to work. Not quite the same as welfare but still not enough to live on.
My case worker told me to push for the whole 100% because my initial rating was so high at 70%. She said that they never give you the whole amount the first time... So I filed another claim about five months ago and I should get my rating with the next month. If I were to get 100% that would give me $2,600 a month but I would not be able to work...
