FAQs | Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find specific VA disability percentages for conditions?
The VA Claims Insider Ratings Resource page includes dedicated pages for VA-ratable conditions (like PTSD, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, etc.), where you’ll find diagnostic codes (DCs), VA rating criteria, and service connection information. Simply select the relevant condition alphabetically to view rating details.
Can I qualify for a VA rating for any medical condition?
You can only qualify if the condition is service-connected. That means you need a confirmed medical diagnosis, evidence of in-school or active duty exposure (injury or illness), and a medical nexus linking the two. Some conditions are also covered under presumption rules for specified service areas and time periods.
What is a VA disability rating and why does it matter?
A VA Disability Rating is a numeric percentage assigned by the VA to indicate the severity of your service-connected condition. Your rating determines your monthly tax-free compensation and eligibility for additional benefits like VA healthcare, home loan assistance, and more.
What rating levels (percentages) does the VA use?
Conditions are rated in various 10% increments between 0% and 100%, depending on the VA rating criteria and diagnostic code used. Rating levels depend on severity of symptoms, frequency, functional impact, treatment needs, and whether the condition affects your employability.
How do I calculate my combined VA disability rating?
You can use our free VA Disability Calculator to estimate your combined VA rating. The VA uses a complex formula—not simple addition—so this tool makes it easy to understand and calculate your current (or future) total monthly compensation.
How do I appeal or upgrade my VA rating?
If you disagree with your VA disability rating decision, your condition has worsened, you’ve developed a new condition, or you believe you are underrated, you have options:
File an appeal: You can submit a Supplemental Claim with new evidence, request a Higher-Level Review for errors in your original decision, or appeal directly to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. Most appeal options must be filed within one year of your decision letter.
File a new claim: If you’re experiencing a new condition related to your service, you can file a new VA disability claim at any time.
File for an increased rating: If a service-connected condition has worsened, you can request a higher VA disability rating by filing a claim and submitting updated medical evidence that supports the increased severity of your symptoms.
File for a secondary service connection: If a new condition has developed as a result of an existing service-connected condition, you can file a secondary VA claim. Learn more about how to increase VA disability HERE.
