Path to 100

Do the arithmetic. See every outcome.

Enter what VA has already rated and what is still pending. This models every combination of low, likely and high results.

Estimate only. VA decides your actual rating. Analogous diagnostic codes and the rule against pyramiding can change how conditions are rated. A 0% entry means no contribution to the math, not a service-connection decision.

True value vs. displayed rating

VA combines ratings one at a time, largest first, each against what remains. Each step is rounded to a whole number. That whole number is your true combined value, for example 85.

Only the final value is rounded to the nearest 10, with 5 rounding up. That is your displayed rating: 85 shows as 90. Further math always builds from the true value.

Threshold 95. A true combined value of 95 or more rounds to 100. Distance to 95 is how many true points remain.

      Low must not exceed likely, and likely must not exceed high. Use 0 for no percentage contribution; a 0% rating can still be service-connected.
