Veterans' Disability Ratings and What They Mean

Disability ratings are the VA's way of measuring the potential that any given impairment has to decrease your ability to earn a living. The criteria that the VA uses to establish disability ratings are complicated in even the most straightforward-seeming cases and much more so if more than one service-connected disability is involved.

If you have received a disability rating that you feel is too low or have an existing disability that has grown more severe over time — we can help. In fact, we may even be able to help you if your initial disability rating was 0 percent and you did not qualify for benefits.

At Bosley, McKown & Bratch, decades of combined experience with veterans' disability claims and with the VA itself enable our attorneys to help disabled veterans from across the United States obtain the benefits they deserve. To put that experience and the other resources we have to offer on your side — call or contact us and ask to speak with an attorney. The consultation is free. We only receive payment for our services if we are successful on your behalf.

Basic Disability Ratings

The following table shows the 2009 disability compensation rates for veterans with no dependents.

Disability RatingMonthly Compensation
10 percent$123
20 percent$243
30 percent$376
40 percent$541
50 percent$770
60 percent$974
70 percent$1,228
80 percent$1,427
90 percent$1,604
100 percent$2,673

Beyond these basic levels of compensation, veterans who are rated at 30 percent or more can receive payment increases for their dependents. There are additional factors that can affect the level of compensation and different strategies our lawyers can use to increase your payments. For instance, if you have a single service-connected disability that has been rated at 60 percent or more, we may be able to secure a finding of individual "unemployability" that would allow you to receive benefits at the 100 percent level.

For answers to specific questions regarding your veterans' disability claim — do not hesitate to call or contact our lawyers for a free consultation. To reach our offices by phone — dial 1-866-974-0705 (toll free in the United States).
