About VA Disability Ratings
If you were injured in service or suffered an injury afterward that is connected with your service, the VA assigns your condition a disability rating. Most VA disability ratings range between 0 and 100 percent in increments of 10. According to the VA, not all disabilities are rated the same way or under the same criteria. The VA generally reserves the 0% rating for conditions that it does not determine to be significantly limiting.
What does a zero percent disability rating mean?
Even conditions rated at 0% are service-connected and eligible for compensation if the condition worsens. Additional evidence showing the condition was caused by service is not required because the VA has already determined that it is and simply thinks that the current symptoms do not warrant monthly compensation. At a 0-percent rating, applicants can qualify for certain ancillary benefits, such as health care, but won't receive monthly compensation. A rating of 10-percent or higher is required to be eligible for a monthly benefit check from the VA. A 100-percent rating usually corresponds with a total disability or a condition that the VA deems extremely limiting. The ratings in between are determined based on rating criteria, which is why it is so important to submit credible, accurate, and thorough evidence.
Current VA Disability Compensation Amounts Based on Rating
The VA updates its schedule of benefits each year. At a 30-percent or higher rating, Veterans are eligible for additional benefits for dependents living in their household. For veterans that have two separate service-connected medical conditions, the VA does not add ratings together to determine the total rating. Instead, it has its own formula to combine multiple disability ratings. Depending on the disabilities conditions’ combined rating and a Veteran's ability to sustain employment, a Veteran may be eligible for Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU). TDIU allows Veterans to be compensated at the 100-percent rate in cases where their service-connected disabilities impact their ability to work. However, there a several factors that need to occur to qualify for TDIU.
