MCPO Private RallyPoint Member 3643311 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just received a letter from my service branch saying that I&#39;ve been payed VA benefits correctly up to this date - BUT - my rating was calculated incorrectly and I am being evaluated for a bump in percentage of rating.<br /><br />Now that I&#39;m looking it over, I&#39;m confused as hell. I got eight items rated - and ended up with one at 50%, and seven at 10%.<br />What I was originally told was that the 50 is done first, then 10% taken off of the remainder of my 50% &quot;efficiency&quot; score. When I calculated it all out when I was rated, I ended up with about 77% - rounded up to a tidy 80%.<br /><br />Was I wrong? Was the VA wrong? Looking it over now, and going by the myriad calculators online, I end up getting everything from 70% to 100%...<br /><br />Can a person that can math better than me help me out? 50+(7x10). Thank you!! 2018-05-19T20:11:32-04:00 MCPO Private RallyPoint Member 3643311

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Go to the Ebenefits website. They explain it all there. I don&#39;t think anyone outside of the VA can properly explain their sorry excuse for math.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>VA math - 10 + 20 + 60 = 70. One example. Or 10 + unemployable = 100.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Only the Wizards at VA can figure this crap out- I retired with 5 things wrong and after 21 yrs of jumping got a whooping 10%. When diagnosed with PTSD/major depression I climbed to 60%

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You start off 100% whole, and you take away 50%.<br />Now, you are 50% whole.<br />10% is not 10% of 100%, because you are now only 50% whole, so it is 10% of 50%, which is only 5, not 10.<br />And it continues using that same logic for each additional rating.<br />There is an exception for bilateral ratings, where 10% and 10% add up to something like 22, but refer to the calculator, or CFR 38.<br />Google VA compensation calculator, and you&#39;ll find several.
