How VA Math Works

The VA uses combined ratings, not simple addition. A 50% rating and a 30% rating do not equal 80%. Instead, the second rating applies to the remaining efficient portion after the first rating. The final value is rounded to the nearest 10%.

Common MST-Related Conditions and Ratings

Many veterans with MST claims are rated for PTSD, depression, anxiety, sleep impairment, migraines, or secondary physical conditions. The exact rating depends on documented functional impact and the supporting medical and lay evidence.

MST VA Rating Percentage Breakdown

A 30% or 50% rating may reflect moderate occupational and social impairment, while 70% and 100% ratings generally involve much greater functional limitations. Every claim is fact-specific, so your evidence strategy matters.
