VA Ratings for Physical Conditions
The Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes a wide range of physical conditions for disability compensation. If your injury or physical illness was caused or worsened by your military service, you may be entitled to monthly benefits and support services. The VA rates disabilities on a scale from 0% to 100%, in increments of 10% and our veteran guides explain how to establish service connection and get the maximum rating for each condition.
