How does one get a military retirement status if they are 100% service connected disabled and rated from the VA?Is a 100 percent service connected veteran consider military retired and if yes how does one claim it?You don't,



They are completely separate things.



There are alot of veterans that are 100% service connect disabled, that are not retired.



You only become medically retired, at the point you leave the service.



If your not medically retired then, you cannot become medically retired at a later point.



IE: if your an E-4 and are medically retired, you collect a pension, based on being an E-4.
