      I’m 100% disabled in my country

      I can’t leave my bed, can’t speak or be spoken to, have trouble eating, and I can only use a phone for limited periods.

      So I can’t work at all, hence 100% disabled.

      In my country it signifies how much of your pre-disability salary you’re able to make given your circumstances. If you there is no effect on your performance, you have a disability of 0%. If you can’t work at all, it’s 100%. If it’s more than 35%, you can get a disability allowance. This is all in relation to work and the associated allowance and doesn’t signify how severe your disability is in other contexts.
