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
Guest rickb54
I requested a ILS program in Feb 2005, I moved to Georgia in Dec 2005, so the request was put on hold. In Feb 2006, I went to a group orientation and watched a stupid film. It was determined I would benefit from a program of ILS. I saw two contractors, one interviewed me as to my needs, and wants, the other came to my home and took pictures, in preperation to do adaptive remodeling (ramps etc.) That was on 23 May 2006. My counselor told me another contractor would write the plan that was on 26 June 2006. On 11 July 2006 I was informed contractors cant write plans anymore because of lost laptop, and increased security. Was told to come in on 25 Jul by counselor and plan would be wrote up and ready for review. On 25 July no writen plan, was told, needed estimates to do remodeling, need washington dc approval, and no money was available until Oct. Was told contractors would contact me for estmates. So far noone has contacted me, when I call counselor (three times) she does not return call. I feel I am getting the run around. I have written a letter to the va supervisor but am reluctant to mail it because It might screw up all chances of getting anything, on the other hand counselor has not done anything since first meeting because I still do not know what I am getting or if I will get anything...
what say you... is it time to get the squeaky wheel oiled????
