This calculator helps estimate your potential VA disability compensation rate for 2025 based on your combined disability rating. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses a schedule of ratings to assign disability percentages for service-connected conditions. These percentages are then combined using a specific formula to arrive at a single combined disability rating. The compensation amounts are updated annually, and the rates for 2025 will reflect these adjustments.
function calculateVADisability() {
var combinedRating = parseFloat(document.getElementById("combinedRating").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
if (isNaN(combinedRating) || combinedRating 100) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid combined disability rating between 0 and 100.";
return;
}
// VA Disability Compensation Rates for 2025 (Illustrative – these are estimates and will be finalized by VA)
