Lower VA rating then service rating

[USCG90]

Hello everyone,

So in 2014 I was medically discharged for a leg condition (Extertional compartment syndrome) and I recieved a 20% disability rating from the military - with severance pay.

VA decision finally came through, and they rated me at 10%. I was kinda under the assumption that the VA would give me at least what the military directly gave me. Was planning on signing up for Vocational Rehabilitation..which requires 20%

Has anyone else actually been given a lower rating by the VA then by the military? I thought it was usually the other way around.

Thanks!
