Frequently Asked Questions

How does the VA Combined Rating Calculator work?

The VA uses a specific table and method to combine multiple disability ratings. Our calculator applies these official rules to your individual ratings to determine your total combined percentage. It's designed to mirror the VA's process for educational purposes.

Is this calculator official VA software?

No, this calculator is an independent educational tool provided by FWD Assist HQ. It uses the publicly available VA combined rating schedule to help veterans understand their potential combined rating. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Can this calculator predict my exact VA payment?

While your combined rating is a key factor in your VA compensation, this calculator only provides the percentage. Your actual payment depends on additional factors like dependents, special monthly compensation (SMC), and current VA pay rates. This tool is for educational purposes to understand your rating percentage.

Do I need to log in to use the calculator?

No, the basic combined rating calculator is free to use and does not require a login. We believe this essential tool should be accessible to all veterans without barriers.
