I recall reading something about, at least one person said that 0 percent ratings are illegal. They cite congress report saying that Vets will be compensated from 10 to 100 percent, and "o%" was made up by VA so they could save money. I may try to find it, but my head is spinning from the I9 right now. It makes sense VA would do this: "invent" a 0% rating" when congress did not approve one.
I think VA may try to agrue that 0 percent Vets do get compensation in the form of medical benefits, but there is no difference in medical benefits for a 0 percent Veteran or a nsc Vet.
A rating of Zero percent is Compensation rating: Compensation is defined as:
com·pen·sa·tion

My neighbor calls me a "zero" from time to time. Does that count?? Hamslice

Just looked, I have seven, yes 7 SC'd at a zero rating. Probably should look to increase all 7 every 2-3 years, just to see what sticks.. Anyway, Hamslice

I found it! It was in the Veterans Law Library. They are discussing whether zero percent ratings are legal. http://www.veteranslawlibrary.com/files/Fed_Cir_Audio/2015/Wingard_2014-7017.mp3 You
