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.

Thank you. This means all your effort in the past 20 years is worth it. Im not sure this is the first, nor do I know whether it will be the last. But it is surely important to some. Here it is:
Hello everyone,
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for the great advice and comments. But most importantly, I wanted to mention a life saving chat session I had with "TBird" on this website early this month. I chatted with TBird at a time of "extreme crisis" I was having. She made me feel comfortable, calmed me down, chatted with me about my needs and then provided me with both the VA Crisis Line chat URL and phone number. We chatted for quite a while, but she encouraged me to contact the Crisis people right away.
Minutes after my online chat with TBird, I online chatted with the VA Crisis people for about ten or twenty minutes. They asked for my phone number which provided and the chat person stayed online with me until I was I immediately called on my cell phone by a Crisis line operator. After a about five minutes of discussion, I was asked if wanted to be transported by a family member, an ambulance, police car, VA shuttle or any other means to the Mather Hospital BH-ICU unit, located in Sacramento California. I remember her name as Susan and she asked to speak with my wife after I woke her up, to confirm I had transportation. She explained that it was imperative that I see someone as soon as possible and that she would call in fifteen minutes to ensure I was on my way. She did in fact call as me and my wife were leaving the house.
I called Dr. Seeger at my local VA ti make sure she concurred with this treatment plan... which she immediately said yes....go right away.
After reaching Mather VA hospital, I was immediately admitted to the BH-ICU (Behavioral Health ICU - Lock Down unit) for extreme PTSD-MTS with a friendly police escort. I received round the clock
EXPERT CARE for seven full days. After six days I wrote and submitted a development plan for myself which asked for permission to return home which was approved after multiple interviews and meetings. I just returned home about six hours ago, listed as high risk PTSD, however low risk S, I now which was not the certainly not the case when admitted.
The VA BH-ICU doctors have submitted applications for me to go to long term specific PTSD-MST facilities in Virginia, Kentucky, Denver and several other out of state programs for long term care. With treatment duration's ranging from thirty days to six months, depending on progress. The VA will also be flying me to and from the treatment center ultimately chosen which should happen in about two weeks.
I am so tired right now,m but I wanted to mention a few things that need to be said.
#1) TBird, thank you...you saved my life.
