How does the VA, determine what percentage you get by the injuries while serving in the millitary?

Is there some kind of chart that involves injuries to percentages?

Here is what the compensation will be:
http://www.military.com/benefits/veteran-benefits/va-compensation-tables
Here is the criteria:
http://www.vfvc.net/pages/va_disability_rating_criteria.htm
The VA has a rating system that you can find in pdf form. It breaks everything down from bad to worst. I have tinnitus which can be 0%, 10% or 30%.
30% only if you have fainting and vertigo spells. So, everything has a predetermined maximum.
The percentage is determined by the disability it causes you in everyday life. You must show certain things too. You must show service medical records that connect the disability. If you claim something such as PTSD then you must show that you were in combat or that you were raped. Showing that you went to Iraq or Afghanistan is not enough. You must show a specific firefight, IED or attack. CIB alone can show this but a CAB cannot. I
I could give you more information if I knew what you specifically wanted to know. |

The VA uses United States Code Service Selected Provisions of Title 38 Veterans' Benefits.
I highly recommend every veteran find a veteran service officer from either DAV, VFW, American Legion, etc. There are many organizations that will assist you free of charge.
I used to tell veterans this: "pretend you are going to court and it is up to YOU to provide the burden of proof". I know this isn't how it should be, but it is in every veterans interest to take this attitude instead of hoping that the VA treats you fair.
Make a copy of your medical record before you get separated. Some conditions, if they were not documented while you were in, have a time limit AFTER you get out such as skin conditions.
Anyways....1. find a veteran service officer. 2. make sure you have documentation of the medical condition BEFORE you make a claim for service connected disability. |

You'd think there would be a chart, or a reference, but from what I've seen of fellow veterans, especially vets with combat-related injuries, some VA person throws darts at a dartboard with random percentages on it. |

To be Honest Miguel...
I have been a VSO for 30+ years and I
still haven't figured it out..
Yes the above sites are great...
The one that says they Throw Darts at a board
is the one I would pick...
True story...
I worked up to MP's Purple Hearts...PTSD
Wounds, TBI...both from the Same Unit and
same Vehicle...
They were both filed the same day...
Seen the same C&P Doctors on the same day...
One was awarded 150% in less than 45 days...
The second was award 60% in 120 days...
Why the difference...I have no idea and neither
does anyone else including the Rating Board at
the VARO...(Same Person rated both...)???? |
