Applications

Essential for U.S. Veterans planning their benefits. This tool simulates how the VA combines multiple disability ratings to determine your final compensation level.

VA Combined Rating Math

Ratings are not added (e.g., 50% + 50% is not 100%). Instead, disabilities are sorted largest to smallest. Each subsequent rating is applied to the remaining 'non-disabled' efficiency. The final result is rounded to the nearest 10%.

Fun Fact: The highest possible combined rating is 100%, but because of 'VA Math', getting from 90% to 100% can often require several additional substantial ratings.
