Have you ever wondered how the VA arrives at your disability rating and why 90% plus 10% does not equal 100%? This informative webinar, hosted by Kathleen Lovito, features expert insights from Jodee Neumann, Team Leader at VA Benefits, and Veronica Petrova, VA Benefits Coordinator at AAFMAA. Together, they demystify the VA's unique methodology for combining individual disability ratings to form an overall disability rating.
In this video, you will learn:
🔹 Introduction to VA Disability Ratings: Understand the purpose of a VA disability rating, how it compensates Veterans for service-connected conditions, and why this compensation is tax-free.
🔹 The "Whole Person" Theory: Discover how the VA calculates disability ratings using the "whole person" theory, where each disability percentage is applied to the remaining "healthy" portion of the Veteran's body.
🔹 Step-by-Step Guide to VA Math: Follow a detailed explanation of how the VA combines multiple disability ratings using the Combined Ratings Table, with practical examples to clarify the math behind the final rating.
🔹 Common Misconceptions: Learn why a 90% rating combined with a 10% rating does not result in a 100% rating and how the VA’s methodology ensures that combined ratings reflect the true impact on a Veteran’s overall health.
🔹 Factors Affecting Compensation: Explore additional factors that can influence your VA compensation, including special monthly compensation for severe disabilities like paralysis, blindness, or loss of use of limbs.
🔹 Important VA Resources: Access valuable resources, including links to accredited Veteran’s service organizations that can assist with filing VA claims and appealing decisions.
