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
harleydude54
March 2014 I filed a claim for increase of depression and IU
June 2014 It was closed in "Error" Has since been reopened as an "administrative review"
9/03/14 I received an email response from IRIS stating "records show that your file was forwarded to the supervisor of the team that processed your claim. Please allow sufficient time to process it"
October 2015 I noticed (after weeks of the claim showing as "Preparation for Notification") I noticed that a development letter was sent. I did a VA Chat since I never got the letter and was told that it was it had to do with the electronic development process and a letter had not been sent by VA.
November 2015 contacted my Congressman (I was getting nowhere on my own and my VSO wasn’t a help) and he received an email stating that "we made a decision on xxxx claim on 09/29/15 and it is currently pending finalization"
April 19th sent email to IRIS April 19th
VA "Chat" April 25, 2016 on a different issue but also asked about the claim and got the canned response.
May 2 received a reply stating “claim was complete on April 26, 2016. VA has made a decision on your claim and a packet of detailed information explaining your decision will be sent.
Today (May 11th) I contacted the VA via chat since I was still showing in e-benefits to be in the pending decision approval phase. At the end of the chat the VA representative wrote "I understand and I am sorry, We have already appropriately responded to you other requests for the same information. Therefore, we must discontinue any further response to you regarding this issue. If you have questions specific to your benefits you can review your premium eBenefits account" then the rep immediately signed off.
Was this too many times to contact VA for an update on my claim?
I just checked e-benefits (8 hours after chat session) and my claim is now showing Prep for Notification and I am getting extremely nervous and I hope the session today won’t affect my decision in any way.

I think you are fine. Someone (all of us really) have to keep them in check.

Remember the VA is here for you, you are not here for the VA. This is your claim and you have the right to check on it as many times as you want if your not satisfy with the answers you are getting. B
