How does he qualify for 100% disability?

I found this:


To qualify for 100% VA disability benefits, you must demonstrate total and permanent disability due to service-connected conditions, supported by thorough medical evidence.
Eligibility Criteria
Service-Connected Conditions: You must have a disability that is connected to your military service. This can be a single severe condition or a combination of multiple conditions that collectively impair your ability to function. Common conditions that may qualify include severe mental health disorders, loss of limbs, or other debilitating injuries.
2
Total Disability: The VA must determine that your disability is total, meaning it significantly impairs your ability to work or perform daily activities. This can be established through medical documentation that clearly outlines the severity of your condition and its impact on your life.
1
Permanent Disability: For a 100% rating, the VA typically requires that your condition is permanent, meaning it is not expected to improve over time. This can be indicated through ongoing medical evaluations and treatment records.

I don't get it. He is a robust young man and is able to "oyster farm" and run for a Senate seat. How does he qualify?

Am I misunderstanding ?
