Know Your Numbers.

VA Disability Compensation + Command School

VA Math Made Simple.

Wondering why your VA combined rating doesn’t add up the way you expect?

That’s because the VA uses “VA Math”—a percentages-of-percentages system that almost always leaves Veterans scratching their heads.

Instead of just adding your ratings together, the VA calculates each new rating against the part of you they still consider “healthy.” That’s why 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2 when it comes to your disability rating.

That’s also why we’ve built our own VA Rating Calculator right here on this page—to help you see exactly how the numbers work.
