The VA calculates disability ratings by assessing the severity of a veteran’s condition. They start with the most serious disability and analyze how much it impacts daily life. If additional disabilities exist, they evaluate those next. Ratings are often combined—this means the ratings are not added directly, but calculated through a specific formula. Each rating is rounded to the nearest 10 percent, which can affect the overall disability percentage.
For example, if a veteran has one condition rated at 50% and another at 30%, the VA would first combine these ratings before rounding. Additionally, there’s a bilateral factor for veterans with disabilities affecting both limbs, which can increase the final rating. This method aims to provide a fair representation of a veteran’s overall health impact from service-connected conditions.
Understanding the calculation process helps ensure veterans receive the benefits they deserve. Knowing how ratings combine can clarify any confusion around evaluations. This insight is crucial for accessing necessary support and resources.
It's also important to review how factors like conditions affecting both limbs may adjust overall ratings. Being well-informed about the VA’s methods can empower veterans in their pursuit of the benefits they’re entitled to.
