Right now I would earn 75% of my pre-release salary. I think that's equivalent to $45,000 a year, give or take. I don't have a calculator in front of me and I'm not a mathematician. This is off the top of my head.
The main concern is if my disability keeps me from employment in the future.... That is my concern. Between then and my lost legs I have no idea what I'm going to receive because I don't know when I'm going to be able to attend law school and things like that. Hopefully I'll be able to attend right away, but as for a dollar figure, I think I'd be earning close to $10,000 less than I'd be earning today until I am gainfully employed again.
The other problem is, I'm concerned that if I find a job and then my disability prevents me from carrying on my career, can I get my ELB back? How will that be determined? Things of that nature....
