A Combined Rating Table 2022

Many veterans are confused about how the VA determines combined disability ratings. VA math does differ from the math we learned in school. However, it gets easier when you learn how the VA calculates disability ratings, and how to use the VA combined rating table.

VA math is simple when you have only one rated disability. Your rating for that disability and the rating for your total disability will be one and the same. However, most veterans have more than one service-connected disability. So how does the VA consider all of them? That’s where it can get complicated.

Understanding how the VA comes up with your combined rating is important because it helps you be sure your VA disability benefits have been calculated correctly, giving you the disability compensation you deserve. Your combined rating is vital because it can represent hundreds or even thousands of dollars in monthly benefits.

To help make sense of the VA rating system and how your rating is calculated when you have more than one rated disability, let’s explore the VA combined rating table (sometimes referred to as the VA disability combined ratings table).
