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
Ryguy
Well i had my appeal c and p exam. The doctor called me in, and he just said "yessssss, i see you have some neck and upper back issues, that can be very painful", i said yes. After this, I reminded him that I had an appt with him in the past, and he said he didn't remember me, but he looked in the computer system and quickly noted that he did do my exam in 2008, I explained to him that his last decision said there were no notes/evidence in my military record in regards to the neck injuiries, he looked suprised and he said why is that, i told him because I was discharged within 2 months of the injury date. He said OK, he said the rater really wanted to know what accident made my condition worsten, that I was involved in March 2003, I told him I was never involved in an accident in 2003, the accident in the military occured March 2001. He noted this, I really didn't even have to do any major neck range of motion movements. He said the real thing was the rater wanted to know was why a physician assistant notes said I was in an additional accident in 2003.
I called my VSO immediately and asked about what i should do if the rater is asking about a March 2003 accident, which is incorrect, she simply told me to rush and fax her a statement saying that I was not in an accident in march of 2003, and was only involved in one on March 2001. She said it could have simply been a typo by the physican assistant. I did fax this over to the VSO, and now i'm awaiting the Review Officers decision.
Overall I think the exam went well, as in the past when I had an exam with this physician, he was kinda cold and put me through all sorts of hoops, such as stripping down to my underwear, so he could see how i walked with my back and neck injury. I thought this was over the top for an exam, but i complied and was granted the disability I was due in the past. So now i'll just wait and see what happens with this appeal which dates back from 2006.
Any ideas or comments on this situation?
