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.-

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
Jaydog
Hello, I have a few questions. I just received a letter from the VA. I was not expecting anything. I opened the letter and they did a review under the special initiative. First off I do not know what that means anyway. It was just more in depth than the letter i received when they first denied my claim in September 2015. I read through it and basically what they are saying as to why they denied me was because they state that I had a substance abuse problem before I joined. I am not sure how they came up with that. I was 18 when I joined right out of high school. I am trying to think why they would say that. Anyway it should not even be part of the decision. I enclosed the letter I received . It also stated that my timeline is off and i am contradicting myself in my statements. First off the incident happened in 1995 and I did not say anything about it until July of 2014. I now believe because so much time has passed they don't believe me and the want to blame it on something else. I believe the statements they say I contradict myself are probably the one where I did not disclose yet and I tried to get benefit from the VA without disclosing it. Now i feel like theirs no path forward for me to get approved

REASONS FOR DECISION
1. Evaluation of left shoulder strain with rotator cuff tear currently evaluated as 20 percent disabling.
The evaluation of left shoulder strain with rotator cuff tear is continued as 20 percent disabling. (38 CFR §3.32l(a); 38 CFR §3.32l(b)(l)}
We have assigned a 20 percent evaluation for your left shoulder strain with rotator cuff tear based on:
• Limited motion of the arm at shoulder level
Additional symptom(s) include:
• Painful motion of the shoulder
The provisions of38 CFR §4.40 and §4.45 concerning functional loss due to pain, fatigue, weakness, or lack of endurance, in coordination, and flare-ups, as cited in DeLuca v. Brown and Mitchell v. Shinseki, have been considered and are not warranted. Although there was additional loss of range of motion with repetitive movements, these changes did not rise to the next higher level of disability.
A higher evaluation of 30 percent is not warranted for limitation of motion of the arm unless the evidence shows:
• Limited motion of the arm to 25 degrees from the side.
2. Service connection for cervical intervertebral disc syndrome (claimed as neck strain).
Service connection may be granted for a disability which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service.
Service connection for cervical intervertebral disc syndrome (claimed as neck strain secondary to left shoulder) is denied since this condition neither occurred in nor was caused by service.
The evidence does not show an event, disease or injury in service. Your service treatment records do not contain complaints, treatment, or diagnosis for this condition. There was no continuity of symptoms from service to the present. The evidence does not show that your condition resulted from, or was aggravated by, a service-connected disability. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service.
Your service treatment reports from November 1993 to May I 996 show no complaints of or diagnosis of cervical spine, neck condition.
You were provided a VA compensation examination in November 2015. The examiner reviewed the claims file, including service treatment reports, private medical reports, the history and the evidence presented at the examination. The examiner opined the neck condition is less likely than not due to the service connected left shoulder strain. The examiner indicated the neck condition is more likely due to left cervical radiculopathy
3. Service connection for right shoulder rotator cuff tear (claimed as right shoulder condition).
Service connection may be granted for a disability which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service.
Service connection for right shoulder rotator cuff tear (claimed as right shoulder condition secondary to left shoulder strain) is denied since this condition neither occurred in nor was caused by service.
The evidence does not show an event, disease or injury in service. Your service treatment records do not contain complaints, treatment, or diagnosis for this condition. There was no continuity of symptoms from service to the present. The evidence does not show that your condition resulted from, or was aggravated by, a service-connected disability. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service.
Your service treatment reports from November 1993 to May 1996 show no complaints of or diagnQsis of a right shoulder disability.
You were provided a VA compensation examination in November 2015. The examiner reviewed the claims file, including service treatment reports, private medical reports, the history and the evidence presented at the examination. The examiner opined the right shoulder condition is less likely than not due to the service connected left shoulder strain. The examiner indicated the condition may be right shoulder weakness and pains may also be secondary to a cervical radiculopathy and/or an undiagnosed rotator cuff tendinopathy.
4. Service connection for lumbosacral strain (claimed as back condition).
Service connection may be granted for a disability which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service.
Service connection for lumbosacral strain (claimed as back condition secondary to left shoulder strain) is denied since this condition neither occurred in nor was caused by service.
The evidence does not show an event, disease or injury in service. Your service treatment records do not contain complaints, treatment, or diagnosis for this condition. There was no continuity of symptoms from service to the present. The evidence does not show that your condition resulted from, or was aggravated by, a service-connected disability. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service.
Your service treatment reports from November 1993 to May 1996 show no complaints of or diagnosis of a low back disability.
You were provided VA compensation in November 2015. The examiner reviewed the claims file, the service treatment reports, the post service treatment reports, the history and the evidence from the VA examination. The examiner opined it is less likely than not the lumbar spine condition is secondary to left shoulder strain. As a result of the claimant's inability to lift
heavy objects with either his left or right shoulder it would ·be highly unlikely for the claimant's unilateral or bilateral shoulder condition to cause a lumbar strain since the claimant is unable to lift heavy objects that would strain his lumbar spine. Also, since the claimant’s post-service
Medical records have not established a baseline back condition because his post-service medical records have been silent for post-service back condition; there is no evidence of aggravation.
5. Service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder.
Service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder requires medical evidence diagnosing the condition in accordance with 38 CFR 4.125(a); a link, established by medical evidence, between current symptoms and an in-service stressor; and credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor occurred.
A diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder must meet all diagnostic criteria as stated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association. The evidence does not show a confirmed diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder which would permit a finding of service connection.
The evidence does not show an event, disease or injury in service. Your service treatment records do not contain complaints, treatment, or diagnosis for this condition. There was no continuity of symptoms from service to the present. You submitted a lay statement to
Support your claim. A credible lay statement may establish what was seen, heard, and directly experienced. The lay evidence was found not to be competent and sufficient in this case to establish a diagnosis of your condition or to show that a diagnosis had been made by a medical professional. You submitted a lay statement to support your claim. A credible lay statement may establish what was seen, heard, and directly experienced. The lay evidence was found not to be competent or credible evidence of the symptoms of your claimed condition. Although, some evidence supports your claim, we found other medical evidence more persuasive because it is supported by an accurate account of the medical history and/or it is the most detailed and reliable depiction of your medical condition. While some evidence supports your claim, we found other medical evidence more persuasive because it is supported by your relevant military
And/or personal history. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service. You submitted lay evidence that your claimed disability is

Related to events or treatment in service. We have determined that the service treatment records and post service evidence contradict your statement(s) of a connection between your service and your claimed condition, and find the other evidence is more credible when considered in light of all the evidence.

The examiner indicated it cannot be said with confidence that his depression or anxieties are solely attributed to the claimed in service event.
