Multiple Noncompensable Service-connected Disabilities.

[Guest rickb54]

Food for thought.....

Multiple noncompensable service-connected disabilities.

Whenever a veteran is suffering from two or more separate permanent service-connected disabilities of such character as clearly to interfere with normal employability, even though none of the disabilities may be of compensable degree under the 1945 Schedule for Rating Disabilities the rating agency is authorized to apply a 10-percent rating, but not in combination with any other rating.

:D I wonder how/who decides this...what about the veteran who is rated 0 for hearing, and 0 for arthritis... he doesn't get a 10% rating

hearing and arthritis can and do interfer with normal employment...

that is one of the positions they never filled after they fired the last guy approving those 10% claims, they have saved lot's of money on just that one program

They gave me a 0 for hearing then turned around and gave me two hearing aids.
