can you help me with a scenario where I would have three disabilities?


Look at the example on the combined ratings table, which I can link you to if you need it. If we added a third disability rated at 10 % disabling to our example , we would take your combined value of 65 and look for that number in the left column of the combined ratings table. We would then look for 10 in the top row and find the number where the left column and top row meet. In the example, that number would be 69.


what do you do first to calculate my combined rating?


We start by putting your disability ratings in order , from highest to lowest percentage

We assign you a disability rating based on the severity of your disability .  We express this rating as a percentage , representing how much your disability decreases your overall health and ability to function. We then use your rating to determine your disability compensation rate , so we can calculate how much money you will receive from us each month . We also use your disability rating to help determine your eligibility for other benefits.
