Veteran’s from Iraq. What table or system does the VA uses to establish benefits?

A Vet with PTSD and with an Honorable Medical Discharged There is any table to show % of benefits for Service Connected or related injuries? A Veteran with PTSD, diagnosed mental illness will be compensated? How about any other injuries?

Rating
Ratings for PTSD are assigned from 10% to 100% and are determined using the DSM-111 Dianostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders, of the American Psyciatric Association.

Disability compensation is a monthly benefit paid to veterans because of injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service.

VA must obtain evidence to establish that the disability claimed is the result of the veteran's military service. VA then evaluates the medical evidence and assigns a disability rating percentage.

VA evaluates each service-related condition in 10% increments. For some conditions, the maximum level of compensation is 100%. However, for most conditions, the maximum level of compensation is less than 100%.

Once the medical evidence is evaluated and a percentage rating assigned, VA pays the amount of compensation provided by law for that rating.

for PTSD "the rating agency shall assign an
evaluation of not less than 50 percent "

Anything else, check the link below.
