VA Disability Rating System

The VA Disability Rating System assesses how much a service-related injury or condition affects a veteran’s daily life and ability to work. Ratings are given in percentage increments from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating more severe impairment. These ratings determine the level of monthly compensation and benefits a veteran receives. The process considers medical evidence and the impact of conditions on physical or mental functions, aiming to provide fair compensation based on the severity and effect of the disability.
