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.

Question
63Charlie
Yesterday I reported to the Orlando VA Medical Center for the above-styled exam
As he escorted me into the exam room, he asked me a question in a low voice.
I couldn't understand what he said.
I replied, "What did you say?"
Then he spoke clearly and loud enough for me to understand him.
So I replied to his question.
The initial part of the exam involved inserting some kind of medical device in each ear canal, one side at a time, and I felt pressure and it made beeping noises.
Then came the tone response test where you tell them when you can hear the tone.
Finally, sentences were said where you have to identify a particular word and repeat that word.
After it was over, the examiner led me out of the exam room and walked about ten steps ahead of me.
I have spine problems and use a cane so I'm slow anyway.
I see the examiner standing in the corridor and he asked me another question in a low voice that I could not understand.
I asked him to repeat what he said, and he asked me in a louder voice, so I could understand him, "Do you have any more exams today?"
Which I replied, "No."
While in the exam room he asked me how the tinnitus affects me.
I told him that the constant ringing in my ears annoys the crap out of me.
I told him that I turn on a fan next to my bed each night when I go to bed, to help drown out the noise from the ringing in my ears.
He asked," Have I had my hearing checked lately?"
I told him , no.
He said, "What makes you think that you have hearing loss?"
I said, "My wife gets aggravated because I have to turn up the volume of the TV to be able to hear it."
I said, "I've had to stop watching TV in the room with her because it always starts an argument."
He also asked what my civilian job occupation is/was.
I told him I've been a HVAC technician since the early nineties.
He said so you were exposed to noise made by air conditioning compressors.
He asked me what my military occupation was and I told him I worked as a diesel repair mechanic as my MOS.
I told him I was also exposed during training to noise from firing .50 caliber machine guns, .30 caliber machine guns,M16 Rifles, live grenades, and artillery simulators.
He asked if I used hearing protection, and I told him not when repairing the diesel engines, and I don't remember if we did when firing our weapons during training.
I had nothing to hide but honestly this guy left me with a bad vibe and an unpleasant experience.
The last thing I noticed was, Holy mackerel did this guy have some large feet!
His shoes might have been a size 18.
