So, I'm beginning to be concerned that my disability will limit my future employment. I have back problems, so I understand that as an employee, that makes me a risk, but are employers able to ask me about the nature of my disabilities?
Yes, you can have 100% and still be able to work. The VA docs can lable you as two diffrent categories; non employable, or employable.
I don't think that is true. If the VA rates you at 100% then yes you can work. BUT if you at say 70% and file for IU and get 100% you cannot work BUT you can go to school full time and when you done school you can go back down to 70 % or if you disability does increase then you can work again.
I was just talking with a woman who does workforce devlopment type stuff, and she said that when applying for government jobs, they will see that you were medically discharged on your DD214, and that "looks bad" apparently. I'm also worried because who wants to hire someone with back problems? No one. It's a huge liability
