What exactly is a VA rate? To know if your current rating is underrated or not, it firstly might be worth establishing what one of these rates are in simple terms.
This type of rating is calculated based on the severity of your disability. The rating is expressed as a percentage, demonstrating how much the disability reduces your health and overall ability to function daily. This rating is then used to determine the compensation rate you will receive, calculating how much money you will obtain per month. We can also use this type of rating to determine if you qualify for other benefits, such as VA healthcare.
