If you are 100% service connected the surviving spouse keeps getting paid. Kids college is free to at 100%. It’s a scam for most but lucrative.

According to the VA website the criteria is "totally disabling" meaning unable to work which is different than the language for 100% permanent/total which is a combined rating of all disabilities and no relevance of working ability. I'm unsure if that makes a difference though as everything I've read seems to indicate a combined 100% rating also qualifies w or without unemployability.
I wouldnt call it "a scam for most". It is compensation for all the health issues related to years of military service. People dont understand the criteria and misconstrue that it is similar to SS disability and somehow implies an inability to work.
