VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Post in I need some help, please
Tbird posted an answer to a question,
If you are looking for help taking care of him something like a home health aide that comes in during the week and helps with what he needs help with. For this I would contact your local VA hospital and ask to speak to the Social Worker, explain your situation, ask for help and how to proceed.
If you are looking for additional compensation in the form of Special Monthly Compensation check out this video from CCK Law I think it will give you a good idea what it is and how to go about applying for it.
For example there is a Special Monthly Compensation Rate for TBI try reading this article from The Veterans Law Blog on SMC T It is a subscription site but it allows you to view 3 articles for free a month.
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)
I hope this helps.

Question
VET4LIFE
I guess I am just chipper as can be!!!
I received a phone call last week (July 6th) asking for clarification of my claim.
The question posed was, "Are you claiming great (Big) toe numbness in your right foot and your injured ankle along with your L-4, L-5, S-1 back injury?"
My question was, "If I do, will I need to go back to Anchorage to get re-evaluated? I really don't think I can fly right now because I am in so much pain?"
The VSR's answer was, "Due to confidentiality I can not answer that?"
I then said, "I guess if that makes it easier for the rater I will claim them later." <<<<< Big Mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get a letter in the mail today stating that action on my claim has been stopped because I stated that I can not endure the airplane ride to Anchorage (1:45 hrs/min) to be re evaluated.
Well I guess tomorrow I get the C&P doc's notes, review my origional notes, go hunting in the regs, and finally write why they should open the case and that I will gladly comply with the 600 dollar plane ride and 50 dollars in cab ride (ducks in a row). I am glad I get to flush the tax money I have earned for the last 20 yrs down Alaska Airlines toilet. What a redicules waste of money. All because they could/ would not answer one simple question. I know I know ROI's and confidentiality I know the rules, but i does not mean I agree with them.
I am also requesting no transfer of information via telephone. I want it in writing from now on. I will ride in an airplane every day of the week I guess.
Heck I'll sleep in the stinking thing if thats what they want.
Well I guess I am done now. Any pointers or does my plan of action sound reasonable..... Well at least semi-reasonable???
P.S. Sorry for my flamboyance... Just kind of ticked and wanted to get it out before I write the VA tomorrow w/ a clear head.
OK where's the Advil???!!!
