How Does the VA Determine My Disability Rating?

 

A: The amount of compensation you receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for your service-related disabilities partially depends on your disability rating - a number that ranges from zero percent to one hundred percent. Those with a 0% disability rating are not considered disabled, while those with a 100% disability rating are considered the most disabled.

 

Your disability rating is usually determined through a medical examination conducted through the VA. During this exam, a medical professional associated with the VA will evaluate your mental and physical health while following a number of specific guidelines.

 

If you have more than one disability connected with your military service, those disabilities will be rated individually and then combined using a chart (not just added together). If you have a disability that seems to fall between two different disability ratings, the VA will choose the higher disability rating.

 

It is vital that your disabilities are rated correctly if you would like to receive fair compensation for your sacrifices. If you believe that you did not receive a fair disability rating or that you deserve more VA disability compensation, speak to our Texas disability attorneys today about your case.
