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
Buck52
Most of us know that OSA or Sleep Apnea can be caused from PTSD
and could be a secondary claim.
Why is it so hard for the VA Dr's to opine this for the Veteran?
I ask my M.H. Phyistrist about it...when she ask me if I had any questions I ask her about
My VA Sleep Apnea Diagnose/and prescribe a C-PAP to use
I ask her if my Sleep Apnea d/x from VA SLEEP CLINIC could cause or could it be a secondary effect from my PTSD & The PTSD Meds I take?
her response was '' I'm not at liberty to comment on that statement'' I thought.....WTF?
She is a licenses Phyistrist With a PHD Degree hanging in her office. she is the one that prescribes my PTSD Meds she is the one I count on to help me with my PTSD &of course the weekly therapy I receive from a VA Therapist L.V.A.S.W.
Anyway then she proceeded to say if your referring to a compensation claim you need to get with the DAV Downstaris...
Anybody ever had this problem getting an opinion from your VA MH Doc?
What is it with these Dr's?
..............Buck

Can't say I recall any Success Stories regarding VA SA Dr's offering or complying with VA regs on DBQ's. Some Vet's I know, that have requested the SA DBQ from their Sleep Dr, are given the Bum's Rush
