Welcome to the VA Combined Rating Calculator. By accessing or using this website, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms & Conditions. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use.

1. Informational Purposes Only (Disclaimer)

The calculations, combined ratings, and payment projections generated by this website are for informational and educational purposes only:

  • Not Government Determinations: This website is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or any government agency.
  • Not Legal or Medical Advice: Calculating an estimate does not constitute a legal benefits determination, nor does it guarantee benefit approvals. Actual ratings and claims must be submitted to and evaluated by the official VA claims rating specialists.

2. Calculation Accuracy

While we audit our math, formulas, and 2026 pay tables to ensure strict alignment with Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations (38 CFR Section 4.25), all results should be treated as estimates. Under no circumstances will we be liable for errors, omissions, or discrepancies between these outputs and official VA rating decisions.

3. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the website to:

  • Engage in automated scraping, mirroring, or bulk data extraction.
  • Introduce malicious code, scripts, or automated tools designed to compromise server security or performance.
  • Insinuate, misrepresent, or claim affiliation with our service to charge other veterans for rating estimations. This tool is free and must remain free.

4. Updates and Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms, update calculator values (including adjustments for future COLA rates), and restrict access to page features at any time without notice.
