Schedule for Rating Disabilities

The Schedule for Rating Disabilities (SRD) is a system used by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to evaluate the severity of disabilities in veterans. It assigns percentages to various medical conditions, which reflect how much those conditions hinder a person's ability to function. The percentages range from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment. This rating helps determine the level of benefits veterans receive, including healthcare and financial support, ensuring that assistance is aligned with their specific needs and the impact of their disabilities on daily life.
