VA Combined Rating Calculator

Computes the combined evaluation using the standard “VA math” (whole-person concept) and rounds to the nearest 10. Optional bilateral factor helper included (simplified; verify per 38 CFR §4.26).

Enter one or more percentages separated by commas. Example: 50,30,10
Result
Notes
  • VA math combines from highest to lowest using remaining “efficiency.”
  • Final result is rounded to the nearest 10% (e.g., 84 → 80; 85 → 90).
  • Bilateral factor is a special adjustment for paired extremities; verify details per regulation.

Likely Rating Estimator

Structured questionnaire for selected DCs. This is not a determination—only an educational estimator. It uses rules stored in data/vasrd.json.

Only DCs with estimator rules will show an interactive form.
Estimated rating
Evidence checklist (general)
  • Diagnosis and treatment history
  • Severity/frequency notes over time
  • C&P exam findings
  • Lay statements describing functional impact
  • Work/school limitations (if applicable)

SMC Trigger Check

Screening tool to help you consider whether Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) may be worth discussing with an accredited representative.

Potential SMC considerations
Important
  • SMC eligibility can be fact-specific and regulation-specific.
  • Use this to generate questions for your VSO/attorney—not as an eligibility decision.
  • Always verify with 38 CFR/VA guidance and your medical evidence.
