My good friend Smokin'Bob broke his back (stress fracures) over three vertebrae on a parachute jump about thirty years ago. He is in pain daily and the VA rated him at 10%.


With the VA, it's all about range of motion. From what I can see, you have to have spinal stenosis to get anything over 20% for back/spinal cord issues.
