What Is VA Math?
Most people don’t realize that when the VA calculates disability ratings, it’s not just basic math, two 50% ratings don’t equal 100%. The VA uses a unique formula that can be confusing without the right guidance.
That’s why we created Funky VA Math. We help veterans understand how the process works using real examples, veteran-led support, and trusted resources. To keep things simple, we recommend starting with the official VA.gov explanation of combined ratings for an immediate, VA-endorsed reference.
