In under 60 seconds, see every condition you qualify for, the correct combined rating, and exactly how much monthly compensation you're leaving on the table.
Drop in your DoD medical record. We map every condition to the right diagnostic code and show you the rating — and monthly comp — the VA should arrive at.
The VA uses "combined rating" math — not simple addition. Small percentage jumps at the top of the scale unlock huge monthly increases. This is why a correct claim matters.
Drop in your DoD medical record PDF. We parse it locally in your browser: nothing leaves your device. No record? Use the rating calculator and add conditions by hand.
We map each finding to the correct diagnostic code, apply the bilateral factor and combined-rating table, and show you the number the VA should arrive at.
Export a plain-English report: the conditions you missed, the evidence that supports each, and the backpay it may unlock. Take it to a VSO, an accredited rep, or file it yourself.
Composite profiles based on typical user outcomes. Names changed. Math is real.
"I had a knee, tinnitus and a sleep apnea claim the VA kept denying. The report laid out the secondary connections in plain English. Took it to my VSO, filed three supplementals, and got to 80% with $14k backpay."
"I didn't know the bilateral factor even existed. VeteranCalc re-ran my ratings with the factor applied and flagged an IU claim I qualified for. Went to 100% P&T eight months later."
"I separated in 2017 and never filed — figured my hearing and back were 'just aging.' Report showed six conditions I had service-connection for. First claim landed at 50%. Easiest money I ever filed for."
VeteranCalc does not guarantee any outcome. Ratings are determined by the VA based on medical evidence. We estimate what your rating should be under current regulations — whether the VA grants it depends on your record and evidence.
The VA doesn't add percentages — it combines them using a whole-person formula. Most veterans calculate this wrong. Here's the math, live:

Absolutely — and you should. But VSOs have limited time per veteran. This report gives them a fully organized, CFR-cited package so your appointment becomes a strategy session instead of a data intake.
Your PDF is extracted in your browser and the text is sent to our API for analysis. We never store your file or your health information. Once your session ends, the data is gone.
Scanned-image PDFs have no extractable text. You'll need a text-based export from AHLTA, HAIMS, or your MTF — the same format you'd request for a FOIA or records release.
No. This tool provides an educational analysis based on publicly available VA rating criteria. It is not a substitute for legal or medical advice, and it does not file claims on your behalf.
