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
jvretiredvet
The 2012 Defense Authorization Act (HR 1540) passed the House way earlier this year.
The Senate version, with amendments, passed on December 1. One amendment struck down the offset between Dependents Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and Survivors Benefit Plan (SBP) payments .
The bill was returned to the House for reconciliation between the two versions. Reconciliation was completed yesterday.
Without my commenting on some disturbing aspects of the 2012 Defense Bill, the bill is going to President Obama. Recent indications are that the Administration will not veto the bill.
Here is a link to the text of HR 1540, Title VI Subtitle C Section 635 : http://thomas.loc.go...Zs5I2x:e362412:
So, while I am not trying to start rumors .... is this the end of the offset?
