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
TG1979
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to say thanks for having this website. I wish I would have found it prior to submitting my claim.
I think I set my ptsd claim up completely wrong. I have not been evaluated for PTSD prior to submitting the claim. I was hoping the claim would make them evaluate me and that then I could start the treatment. I work for the gov't for another agency, and I have to report seeking mental counseling. By going to a screening/evaluation you do not have to report it. Hopefully I didn't have to seek treatment first without a diagnosis. Also from my reading it appears you have to have work issues/arrests. I do not have depression or anger, but yet anxiety and other issues.
My previous successful claim was with GERD, and that one went well. This one did not seem to go that well after the exam evaluation.
Another question is did anyone fill out the VA burn pit registry? I started filling it out, but it has been down since I started. I am going for sleep evaluations and now after reading think my GERD and sleep issues (apnea) might be related to the burn pits and other toxins we were near.
I will let you know.
Thanks for letting me be part of the community!

TG1979; I would start contacting those that were with you when deployed, ask for buddy statements. I know that the buddy statements from my unit helped validate my in-service connection.
