yes, we can help you learn about VA disability ratings and how we assign your rating
Do you have more than one service-connected condition?
yes
can you tell me what a disability rating is?
You are assigned 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 disability rating to determine your disability compensation rate , so we can calculate how much money you will receive from us each month .
If we have two disabilities does the most severe one determine our rating?
If you have 2 disabilities we will round that combined value to the nearest 10 % to find your combined disability rating. We round combined values ending in 1 to 4 down , and those ending in 5 to 9 up .
so if I get something ending in a 4 it would go down ?
In our example your combined disability rating would be 70 %  after it was rounded from 74..
do you have anything I can look at for more info, like videos that explain things?
