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
JohnM
John went to the DR. office last Fri. for a preop physical, we got his ekg and his notes yesterday, on them he put that John's depression is due to my disabilities.. Which is totaly wrong John has never been diagnoissed with depression but put on Zoloft many years before we even started going to this Dr. My disabilities didn't start until 2001 and John was on Zoloft way before then. I intend to call him on it today. he will not be in today but I intend to ask him for his reason on putting that down. and telling him we want it removed out of his file ( I don't know if we can do that and if they will remove it )
Question is will this hurt John ? As I stated before in another post I asked him if he would rewirte his letter and and the words least likely or not and he said NO! It would hampper his crediablity. John has worked on his stressor letter and that in it self was very hard for him. Now for our Dr. to make a complete 90 degree turn around just infereates me. What can a person do ( but to find a different DR.)
As I told John he was real good with me getting SSD but it seems like he has been very reluctant to help John. John got SSD because of the pain clinic and Spine DR. Our primary has not helped at all and It is for sure that he does not want to help with the VA like we thought he was going to. In the meantime I am checking on finding a different DR. ( HMO) one that know's something about VA.
He know's nothing on AO or VA compensation and I feel he is know trying to fudge.
We will be going to the VA Rep on Tues next week I'm going to show her his notes, she would not even except his letter because it was as he stated everything is from wear and tear and age.
