VA Disability worksheet

1. Estimated monthly payment: $3,282.15

1. Combine the paired ratings first, starting with the highest. VA calls 30 and 10 together 37

   $\text{paired ratings combined}$$=37$

2. Add 10% of that value, which is the bilateral factor. Then round to a whole number

   $37+0.1\times 37$$=41$

3. List your values from highest to lowest, because VA starts with the most serious rating: 50, 41, 30, 20

   $\text{starting value}$$=50$

4. VA treats you as 50% disabled, so 41% applies only to the 50% left. Round to a whole number

   $50+0.41\times 50$$=71$

5. VA treats you as 71% disabled, so 30% applies only to the 29% left. Round to a whole number

   $71+0.3\times 29$$=80$

6. VA treats you as 80% disabled, so 20% applies only to the 20% left. Round to a whole number

   $80+0.2\times 20$$=84$

7. Round the final value once, to the nearest 10. A value ending in 5 goes up

   $\text{84 rounds to}$$=\mathrm{80\%}$

8. Look up 80% in VA's table, using the row that matches your family

   $\text{basic rate}$$=\mathrm{\$2,546.15}$

9. The basic rate already covers one child, so add the extra amount for each other child under 18

   $2\times \mathrm{\$87.00}$$=\mathrm{\$174.00}$

10. Add the amount for each child 18 or older in school

    $2\times \mathrm{\$281.00}$$=\mathrm{\$562.00}$

11. Add these together to get your estimated monthly payment

    $\text{monthly payment}$$=\mathrm{\$3,282.15}$
