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
rootbeer22
Vets:
Well, I'm running out of time to finish my NOD, was unable to get the IMO/IME's from Dr. Ellis. after arguing with my wife (who is already spending my retro) about the money to go which is short-sighted, I ran out of time and my C-File never showed up? The good news is that my earlier exhaustive efforts got me to 90% but the push to 100% has been difficult -at best. Now, I'm going to have to take what I already have SC for and work to get a change or increase to 20% more. Several of my contentions are at the 0% and 10% SC range and there may be room to move up to the next level on several. So, now, I need to pull everything out again to review what it takes to get to some of these or at least 2 contentions moved up to the next level. The good news is that although I don't have IMOs/IMEs, I do have some new evidence that would help me. Unfortunately, I have a lot of contentions that were low-balled and think, I can support an increase with new evidence. At this point, I was lowballed on my TBI at 10% because the TBI examiner said that there was not enough evidence beyond my own descriptions or indications that my work has suffered due to my TBI? So, I was thinking that I would go back and get statements from my former and current supervisor about my work memory and concentration issues that they have noted? I had several incidents at work over the years where it was difficult for me to complete projects on time due to my cognitive and memory issues. Also, although I was SC for Hypertensive Heart Disease, again they only gave me 10% because they said that I did not have chest pain, angina, and shortness of breath. Although, I reported this all during my CP exam, the clerk put just the opposite in the report anyway, even though I wrote those conditions plainly on the pre-exam form, it was not entered into the system...properly...
So in terms of overall advice ...should I just ask for a DRO review or just submit a NOD package...?
Godspeed ..Rootbeer22
