So its 40% but according to the page it should add up to 50%, also what does the differed and Active psychosis and gw mean?

Why is 50% such a milestone?

EODCMC,

Well, that depends.  For me, and any retirie, 50% or above gets you both your retirement and your disability.  Under 50% you only get the higher of the two, not both.

There are different benifits at, well obviously 10%, then 30% (health care benefits), 50% (concurrent reciept), 70% (nursing home care in wisconsin and other health care benefits), and then 100%.

FWIW,

Thanks Ham. I too am retired. I thought the breakout number was 40%. Thanks again for the clarification.

To add to Ham's intel, you also would get an additional 10% added to any bilateral rating, that is, if you have a SCD involving opposing body parts, L and R side, doesn't have to be both knees, could be L knee and R ankle...how that works is like this 10% + 10%...10+9=19, bilateral factor would be 10% of that, or 1.9, added to the 19 + 20.9, or rounded to 21.

And more importantly, if you have dependents, 30% is the magic number because you get an allotment for each one, at that point.
