fmfdoc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have a VA Math question. Currently, I am at 92.34 and getting paid for 90%. Assuming I receive 30% more that would put me at 94.64 Question: does the rating of 94.64 launch me to 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of calculators on line and all of them are wrong except 38 CFR 4.25 Combined Rating Table which do not use any decimals. This is the only calculator VA uses. My suggestion to you is to use the correct table and go from there. http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=6338d97b4fb9053c6488c6951cb558ec&mc=true&node=se38.1.4_125&rgn=div8 Thank you very much for this! I had seen it before but did not understand it and now I do! So for example for me right now I have 30, 30, 10, 10 for my disabilities which if I use the table provided it brings me exactly to 60% which is what I am right now! Again thank you for the help Pete!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thank you for the help Pete!!! In your particular case in VA's math 30+30= 51 then 51+10= 56 then 56+10=60 and that is your combined rating percentage. The thing with this chart is that the more disabilities a veteran has the harder it is to get to 100% scheduler. I think they (VA) wanted it that way whenever they came up with this ******. I won't say what it is but there is no math in the world like it and my thoughts are it was set up that way to make it as hard as possible for veterans.

Their math is ridiculous and yes the more disabilities you have, the more complicated the figuring out gets to be... I am still confused about bi-lateral disabilities.
