VA Ratings

VA ratings are a percentage assigned by the Department of Veterans Affairs to indicate the level of disability or impairment resulting from service-connected conditions. These ratings, ranging from 0% to 100% in increments, determine the amount of compensation a veteran receives, with higher percentages reflecting more severe disabilities. The rating considers how much a condition impacts daily life and functioning. A higher rating often means increased financial support and access to additional benefits. Essentially, VA ratings quantify the severity of a health issue linked to military service to ensure fair compensation and support.
