WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET TO YOUR NEXT RATING?

See exactly what it takes to reach your desired percentage.

Whether you’re filing your first claim or trying to push for an increase, the VA’s math isn’t simple addition.

This tool shows how your conditions combine, what your current rating really means, and what it could take to reach the next level.

  • Add the conditions you’re already connected for, then set your target rating.

  • The tool will show you what it would take to get there — whether that means increasing what you already have or adding new conditions you’re working on.

Pick a condition → choose a VA-allowed percentage → See results.

Your Selected Conditions
What Your Rating Looks Like
VA bilateral factor: Use this when you have rated conditions on both sides of paired arms or legs, like left knee and right knee, or left shoulder and right shoulder. The VA may add an extra factor before the final rating is rounded.
Only use listed rating options: This keeps each condition limited to the rating percentages shown in the catalog. Leave it off if you are adding custom conditions or just estimating.
