Non-Service Connected Disability Rating

[okie143]

I talked to a vet the other day and he said he was 60% SC and 40% Non SC for a total of 100% disabled. How does that work? Does he get paid at the 100% rate or just for the SC %?

He didn't go into details about his disabilities nor about his pay so I didn't pry.

The POA gets a copy of the rating including the code sheet. If he goes to the RO, somebody there should be able to tell him what he was zc for and NSC for and at what percentages. The poa likely still has a file on him that includes his past ratings.

But I really do think that what happened is that he got sc for the previously NSC condition and didn't meet the criteria for whatever evaluation we had on him just to het him up to 100 percent for pension purposes.

(the svc ctr mgr can also grant extrasched NSC pension)
