From around the net:
Can a Veteran really reach a 100% VA disability rating using only disabilities rated at 10%? In this episode of the SITREP Mail Call, we answer that question, explain why VA Math works differently than regular math, and reveal how many separate 10% service-connected disabilities it would take to reach a schedular 100% rating. We also explain why every service-connected disability matters, even a 0% rating, and why Veterans should make sure the conditions related to their military service are properly recognized. If you'd like to learn VA Math step by step, be sure to watch our companion video linked below.
