How Are VA Ratings Combined?
When a veteran has multiple service-connected disabilities, the VA uses a whole-person theory to determine their combined disability rating. This rating enables the VA to assign a rating that accounts for the combined effects of multiple disabilities without exceeding 100 percent.
A veteran’s combined disability rating is not simply the sum of their ratings for each condition. Instead, the VA uses a combined ratings table. The VA looks at both the highest disability rating and the next lowest rating and assigns a combined rating based on where they intersect on the table. This calculation process continues until it has accounted for all disabilities. For example, if you have two VA disabilities rated at 50 percent and 60 percent, your combined rating would be 80 percent.
2025 COLA Increase
In 2025, the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is 2.5 percent for military retirees and veterans who receive disability payments from the VA.
This increase is lower than in recent years—5.9 percent in 2022 and 8.7 percent in 2023—but in line with the average over the past 20 years of 2.6 percent.
When Will I Receive My VA Disability Payments
Your VA disability payments will usually come in on the first business day of the month. See the 2025 VA pay dates here.

VA disability ratings play a crucial role in disabled veterans’ quality of life, but the VA often under-compensates veterans for their disabilities.

Client Reviews
Brian helped me and filled out paperwork needed. I was absolutely amazed at how excellent he did and how much patience he had with me because I do have some brain damage and I think very slowly. He was more than patient and went over everything. He made sure I understood everything, he was very very calm and very patient. I am very, very impressed and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Thank you so much for you Brian and the rest of the team there. It means the world to me and it gives me some hope!!. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!
SHELLY DONNETT'E
Zach Davis was an excellent on telling me about my disability. He was nice calm, and patience as he walked me through the terms and conditions I need to qualify. He was very accurate and precise on some of the things I didn't understand. He broke them down so I could completely understand as we continue to move forward. I'm very Happy with this new experience. Now I pray for a better outcome.
Thanks Zach, for your time
