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
JKWilliamsSr
I filed a supplemental claim to have my back claim reopened. I did this with new evidence which included an IME from the Ellis Clinic. I had a C&P exam on November 5th and was finally able to view the notes today. The exam was a joke and I knew this going in.
My appointment was scheduled for November 5th at 1:00 pm. By 1:14 pm the exam was done with the results and completed DBQ uploaded to the system. So we are expected to believe that a doctor can properly complete a C&P exam, make accurate determinations and fully complete a DBQ in 14 minutes? Do they really think we are that stupid?
For lack of a better word this examiner flat out lied on the DBQ. I will paraphrase some of the questions for simplicity. It is funny because I have submitted personal statements that actually contradict the bullshit the examiner wrote.
1. The examiner stated I did not report flare up. Well considering he did not ask me a single question it would be hard to report a flare up. That is why I submitted personal statements.
2. The examiner stated that I did not report any functional loss or functional impairment - This is a complete flat out lie because at the start of the appointment the examiner said to me. "Tell me about your back" and I proceeded to tell him everything I was going through.
3. The examiner stated that my obesity is the cause of my back issues.
4. The examiner stated that I am being examined after repetitive use over time - Another lie. Not sure how he could even make that determination.
5. Examiner stated that I was only seen twice for my back - Another lie. There are 9 active duty visits for my back in my records.
Oh......and while he did ROM testing he did not use a goniometer
I am completely at a loss for words. This is actually numbing because I did everything I could to make sure they had all the info they needed and a lazy C&P examiner does not do his job.
I will be calling the white house hotline today to complain about this.

I would first file an HLR myself if the new HLR's are taking less than a year, then I would go to the BVA. Your rights are allowed in a greater detail by the BVA but it can take several years before

I had a similar experience with SA, the VA used a PA to give an opinion and I had two MD opinions. The VA went with the PA opinion and ignored my two MD opinions, same at the HLR. It took the BVA to a

If you have an IME and it is positive, it should state that they reviewed all of your Service Records and that it is as likely as not that your current situation is related to service injuries I would
