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

Update:
06-01-16
Pending Decision Approval
(I don't know how long ago that was updated on eBenefits, I think I looked maybe less then a couple months ago).
-------
Last major update was BVA hearing March 2016
in person hearing
=========
I looked on forums to see what that means. I don't want to get my hopes up. I don't want to sound like a drama queen, but the pancreas disease is on the move up into my stomach.
I don't know if it was approved, denied, etc. I have a bunch of stuff on appeal, my VSO asked the BVA judge to combine them, the BVA hearing was actually for an 1151 claim, but had 5 outstanding issues. Some issues actually went to claims that I did not have additional evidence and so I did not appeal them in 1997. So, they had connections to those, but since they were not appealed, they cannot go back that far, I made now claims in 2009. The year before I spent 6 months in a VA hospital and was unable to eat or walk. The failed pancreas surgeries were the basis for my 1151 claim. Attached are other issues that worsen, neurological issues, mental health, skin, and other issues going back to active duty. BTW although my claims were because I got sick from chemicals, I was also hospitalized for Gastritis on active duty 30 years ago, then developed pancreas disease. I was hospitalized several times on active duty. Also suffered a concussion and had severe allergic reactions to chemicals. So, although I am currently rated at 60% for headaches and a bad knee, patella issues. I have inoperable necrotizing pancreatitis, after the failed surgeries. I was unable to claim compensation for the pancreas surgeries for 6 months as an inpatients because at that time they denied my intestinal claims in 1997. For 30 years the doctors sent me to mental health doctor telling me I was mentally ill and a drug seeker. In the hospital every day for 6 months the surgeons interrogated me asking how I got pancreas disease. I told the VA doctors I got sick on active duty from chemicals. Which are clearly in my active duty USAF records. Anyways, I hope Pending Decision Approval is good.! I hope,, I wish!
