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
Bigred122
I swear I would go crazy without this site. I can never seem to get answers from the VA any more. Is anyone else having problems getting files from Our Government lately? NPRC does nothing but give me the run around. I have tried getting just regular records thru Ebenefits site( DPRIS) and get the run around.I have requested my C File 3 times now in the last 2 1/2 months and no response. I can not get the RO to acknowledge my NOD, DRO Hearing or anything relating to my claim. The site shows receipt of my letters, but no one has responded to any of my request. Is this common practice from them. I just received my nexus letter today for my 1151 claim. Everyone says it should be short and sweet and that is what is was.The Dr is a specialist in his field and has been writing these for years for Hep C Veterans. I just expected more I guess. Maybe that was part of my problem was over killing my claims. Anyway my question on this is, Should I save my nexus letter and info and give it to the DRO at the hearing or should I send it early so that they can dispute it prior to the hearing. My RO is in Portland, Or but I'm thinking that my DRO hearing will be at Boise Id since they are only 60 miles vs 500 miles.They are the offending hospital on the 1151, but I think they will send someone from Portland since the originated my claim. Or at least do a teleconference with them in Portland and me in Boise. I don't know how you DIYers do it without any guidance instructions. I can't believe how little of info there is out there on how to do it yourself. I couldn't tell you how many times I've gone thru the Warms Library to find the info on DROs I was looking for. Has anyone found out if there is a site where one can find stats on claim approvals per disability. The BVA and CAVC sites are good on claims that have gone that far. What I'm looking for are the stats of claims like Hep C or other disabilities that were approved without going to the courts. The generalize data doesn't help me with what I'm looking for. Data I'm looking for is like how many claims for Hep C from transfusions or surgeries each year were filed,granted or denied without going to court. The government is Data freaks, so it is somewhere. I'm afraid it falls under we don't want you to know category. They act like parents when they say you are denied because we say so. I say show me the proof or prove to me how I got(whatever) don't just use the old because you say so. Well I better finish this before my computer dies again.The next time it might be fatal for it. Mike
