    How to use the tables to find your monthly payment
     
    Find your basic rate
     
    Go to the compensation rates for your disability rating. On the Basic rates table, find the amount for your disability rating and dependent status. This is your monthly basic rate.
     
    Example (Veteran with no children):
    If you're a Veteran with a 30% disability rating, and you have a dependent spouse (no dependent parents or children), your monthly basic rate would be $522.39 each month.
    Find your added amounts, if any apply
     
    If your spouse receives Aid and Attendance benefits or you have more than one child, you may qualify for additional monthly payment amounts as listed in the Added amounts table.
     
     
    First, determine your basic rate.
     
    Example (Veteran with children):
    If you’re a Veteran with a 70% disability rating, and you have a spouse, plus 3 dependent children under the age of 18, you would start with the basic rate of $1,754.95 (for a Veteran with a spouse and 1 child).
    Next, look at the Added amounts table. Find the amount for children under age 18 ($64.00).
     
    Since your basic rate already provides payment for 1 child, you would add the rate of $64.00 for each additional child (so $64 x 2).   
     
    If your spouse receives Aid and Attendance, you would also add $119 (which is the added amount for a spouse receiving Aid and Attendance, for a Veteran with a 70% disability rating).
     
    In our example of a Veteran with 70% disability rating, your total monthly payment amount would be:
     
    $1,754.95 basic rate (1 spouse, 1 child)
    + $64 (second child under 18)
    +$64 (third child under 18)
    +$119 (spouse who receives Aid and Attendance)
    Total $2,001.95

      Can we have a IRA without affecting the benefits we receive?

      Your question is quite valid, and many individuals consider similar scenarios as they plan for retirement. When it comes to contributing to an IRA while receiving a pension, it's essential to understand the rules to make informed decisions.

      Also you really should consult with a qualified and hopefully motivated VSO located at a VA regional office or VA hospital.  Their services are free of charge for vets.  You have a great many questions.

      Missed filing a VA claim within one year presumptive...

      I would say the most important thing is to file for service connection and to get those issues rated prior to being concerned about their effective dates. There are rare occasions where after a veteran is granted/awarded service connection, the veteran can then appeal for an EED (Earlier Effective Date) but that has to deal with the veteran actually filing a claim or the veteran has medical evidence of treatment records that could be used as a veteran seeking help as an initial request for filing a claim. Even though the VA has removed a certain regulation from their registry, that regulation could still be used for your benefit. As stated, your first step would be getting your claims granted then go for a better or correct effective date.    

      P.S. You should go to the VAMC and request a copy of your VAMC medical records, through the Release of Information Office. These records are not your military medical records and are only at the VAMC. These records should show your diagnosis and treatment. You can go through them and submit them as part of your evidence and to support your claims.

      However you could file for your back issues if those are sc in your service treatment records as directly service connection and claim that your mental health is secondary from your sc back condition.

      Unfortunately you missed your deadline. I recommend that you gather your records and submit a claim. Are you filing directly service connected and was there anything in the military that documents that?

      At this point you miss the year deadline in order to file a condition within that presumptive period. Now you have to show that your condition was treated or documented in your service treatment records.

      oh ok 👍 I have a claim ongoing from all my issues. I am doing it on my own with help from this forum and youtube.

      So my mental health issues are not in my military records and I never asked for help in service.
