Corrections Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

VA Combined Rating Calculator is committed to mathematical and informational accuracy. If an error or outdated figure is published on our website, we act swiftly to investigate and make necessary corrections.

1. Reporting Discrepancies

We encourage veterans, advocacy specialists, and readers to audit our tools. If you identify a discrepancy between our calculator output and your official VA decision (or detect an outdated pay table value):

  • Please report the issue via our Contact Us page.
  • Include details about the combination of ratings, bilateral settings, dependency parameters, and the expected vs. actual outcomes.

2. Evaluation & Verification

Our editorial and technical teams review every report:

  • We cross-reference the report against the official Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (38 CFR Section 4.25) and VA rate announcements.
  • We isolate whether the issue is a math formula discrepancy, a UI display bug, or a rate table value error.

3. Transparency & Updates

Once verified, we update the database, codebase, or copy immediately. Correcting calculation issues prevents future users from receiving inaccurate benefit estimates, which is key to maintaining our community trust.
