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
AllTheWay
Greetings family. Maybe some can answer my question about claims with a 0 rating. These are my rated claims from bennies.
PTSD-70 with anxiety depression
Bilateral pes Planus-50
left shoulder-20
Tinnitus-10
eczema-0
dyssomnia otherwise claimed as insomnia- 0
I am planning on asking for an increase on all of the 0 rated disabilities and my question is for the insomnia, will it be rated under PTSD or since I have a separate rating of 0, can that be increased.
My intentions are and increase on insomnia as well, and also I am adding migraines secondary since that I have been diagnosed and is receiving treatment from the VA and also in the VA notes, its states that my migraines can be caused by the lack of sleep.
Any advice?
Thank you

I agree with Bronc 100%. There are plenty of resources, doctors, that could possibly connect your in-service event. Even if they didn't diagnose the head trauma after your accident, it WAS an inservic
