100% disabled is a term used by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to classify retired military veterans as completely disabled. This label is used in referring to what type of benefits the veteran will receive. A subset of this label unemployable, which simply means that the veteran is not technically 100% disabled but due to their disability they are no longer able to work in their given field; hence unemployable. These two labels are important because in deciding which benefits the veteran receives, or how much, they must be properly classified as 100% disabled, unemployable, or both.
