Dependents

How VA Math Works

The VA does not simply add disability ratings together.

VA combined ratings are based on the remaining percentage of the body considered not disabled after each condition is applied.

For example, 70% plus 20% does not equal 90%. The second rating is applied to the remaining 30%, creating a combined value of 76%, which rounds to 80%.

Add every rated condition Enter PTSD, tinnitus, migraines, back conditions, knee conditions, sleep apnea, or any other rated disability separately.
Dependents matter at 30% and higher Spouse, children, dependent parents, and spouse Aid and Attendance may increase monthly compensation.
Results are estimates The final decision always comes from the VA based on the claim, records, evidence, and rating schedule.
