Add your conditions and dependent information to see an educational estimate of your monthly compensation. How to Get Your Estimate in 3 Easy Steps: Click "+ Add Condition from List" to open the search panel. In the panel, find your condition, select its Disability %, and choose a Side (if it's an arm or leg). Then, click the small blue "Add" button for that condition. This moves it to your main list.

About VA Math
- Highest First: Ratings are sorted from highest to lowest. The first rating is applied to a "whole person" (100%).
- Remaining Efficiency: Each next rating is applied to the percentage that is still "healthy." For example, after a 30% rating, you are considered 70% healthy. A second 10% rating would be 10% of that 70% (i.e., 7 points), not a full 10.
- Bilateral Factor: If you have conditions on paired limbs (e.g., left knee and right wrist are not pairs; left knee and right knee are), those ratings are combined first, then 10% of their combined value is added *before* combining with other disabilities. This is a crucial bonus.
- Final Rounding: The final raw score is rounded to the nearest 10%. A score of 45% rounds up to 50%. A score of 44% rounds down to 40%.
