Your link doesn't say much other that giving general statements. What counts as disabled? Does that include those that have left the military?

I don't believe it would include the military. They have a different disability system within the VA.

And I don't know why anything other than general statements are needed. What do you attribute this huge spike in disability claims to?

Based off that link I can't answer your question because it doesn't say anything about why there has been an increase. Maybe when I get home I might look it up for a better answer than the OP provided.

Don't you know, you can't talk about Bush, he isn't in office so it must be all Obama's fault. At least that is what the Cons say whenever you mention Bush.

Baby Boomers are getting to the age where they're having major health issues. An increase in disability claims would be happening now no matter who the president is. They've always been like the rabbit passing through a python driving the economy. Now it's health care's turn.
