60% or 90% do not add up to 60% or 90% at VA and it’s hard to calculate your compensation rate or figure out what will benefit you to spend your time on. Ex) I have multiple issues, but it’s better to work on issue xyz than abc because I can increase my rating. All of this takes time and resources that are limited. This app helps guide me. I just try to work on the top three issues at a time.
After reading reviews I’m fairly certain everyone who didn’t rate this at four or five stars didn’t use the app properly. Seems a lot of people think it’s linked to the VA and should auto fill your data, that’s not how this works. Very handy app and I used it constantly to keep track of my actual rating while going through the filing process.
Love the fact that I can put in my disability rating once and not have to do anything other than adjust the percentages if I need to change them. Also love that I can see my actual aggregate as well as the rounded rating. Makes the difference in seeing if 90% is because you’re actually at 85 or you’re a actually at 94. Left off one star for the pay portion which doesn’t have an option for SMC award. Other than that, it’s pretty awesome.
Calculating my disability rating was super easy! And it’s nice to be able to play around with disability percentages and see what you could increase your overall rating too. I noticed a few bugs within the app while trying to calculate disability pay, drop down menus were glitching, but other than that, a great app.
Took awhile to get double verified, months. Anyway it’s not bad seem to be able to find my way around. Was getting a little worried that I wasn’t going to get online. Took the time and had to go through the whole process several times before getting it right.
App is easy to use ,pretty straight forward and, was very accurate till now. In my particular scenario of disabilities (10,30,30,50,30), it rates me at 84% total disability , but the VA table rates me at 85% . One percent to most people not a big deal, however it is when you consider va payment is rounded up or down based at 5% increments.
Found this app by accident. Tried it just for grins. Now I tell everyone about it. Works perfectly, love the latest additions. You can load up all of your ratings and then play with the percentages. Saves all of your updates. I haven’t seen any other VA app do that.
This app makes it easy to calculate VA rating but doesn’t automatically show the pay for the %. Even though the $ is on the app, having to dial the % in as a separate feature makes this app elementary at best. This app doesn’t have the additional SMC categories associated with VA Disabilities and doesn’t distinguish dependents over 18 “going to school”.
The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is both the phone and ipad apps are very glitchy at times and it often freezes during swift use. If you could add a feature where you can shift the order of the disabilities listed, that would be very helpful. Good app nonetheless!
I have relied a lot on the accuracy of this app as I progress through my VA appeal process. This app gives me instant feedback regarding my current rating as well as planning for a future increase.
This calculator has helped us understand the current rating and helped us understand what’s to come as my husbands disability increases without having to guess or research everything ourselves.
Great app helps you keep track of your rating. And easily show your other service members what they might expect without using the actual VA app (personal info). Great reference application!!!
Love the fact that this p automatically updates with the new dollar amount. I rely love this ap and I have recommended this app too all my veteran friends
Great info packaged in this app for veterans seeking disability compensation. I like the percentage to dollar amount info and also the fact that all information is current! Great job!
Love everything that the veterans administration puts out for us veterans, especially us completely, and totally and permanently disabled ones. Thank you.
This app is ok for basic calculation. However, for the veteran that has special monthly compensation, it is not accurate and there is no way to add these additional payments to the calculation. Therefore, not really a useful app for many veterans receiving disability compensation
Why not list all the payouts on a single page Eliminate any navigation. Does it list other payment benefits? Thanks Also, the chart noted A/A but does not let you include it
My wife and I are retired the disability helps with all the bills as we both are up in age me 82 her 78 I put in for 100% disability still waiting for answer It would really help us with our disabilities and bills Ty
I love this app. It’s easy to list your SC Conditions and dependent status. The only improvement I would suggest would be to add in SMC information for those who qualify.
Please update peoples rating in the VA disability rating app. I was upgraded to 100% recently but the app. Still shows me at 10%. Thank You Michael Mathey M-5498
For standard disability ratings, it is excellent. But there is no SMC ratings available, which limits its usefulness for anyone with claims or awards that qualify for any of those.
Downloaded the app. Put in 50% disability married. Came up with zero dollars. There is no way to stipulate “service connected”. I actually received disability benefits but this app said zero dollars. I don’t need the app, I just wanted to how accurate it was. Zero accuracy
Don’t buy. Free apps are better. It literally requires you to put in your disability rating so that you can get your estimated pay... does not help you figure out what you can claim or anything like that. No better than a simple lookup table on the VA website. Complete waste of money.
This app is excellent at assisting in understanding of the VA disability claim process. This app was helpful in understanding the process of adjusted vs unadjusted percentages.
This app has the potential to be good but is virtually unusable on iOS. When attempting to input a % rate of disability, one can only access up to 30%, as the keyboard covers the rest of the rates.
This app is difficult to negotiate. Changing your disability is almost impossible. It is hard to add dependence and get an accurate monthly pay rate. Contact a VSO or call the VA. Information is available on line.
