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
WBrennan
I filed in May 2018 for both my knees. In my C-File I had 2 visits for left knee strain so my left knee was service connected. They denied my right knee in 9/2018. I requested my C-File and the ER visit was not in there. I requested my Med Recs for the time frame (a 2month period in 1992) and they came back saying nothing found. Today while going through a box in my garage (11/3/19) I found the ER coversheet from my visit. The chief complaint was pain in both knees. How do I appeal this? If approved, what do I do to keep the original file date since my appeal deadline was 9/2019? Thanks in advance!

WBrennan I just saw your original post..."requesting a 10% rating..." I hope you are just describing what you are looking to get but that isn't the original wording on your appeal. We never request a
