How VA math works
Why 50% + 30% is not 80%.
Start with the highest
A 50% rating leaves you 50% 'whole' in the VA's model.
Apply the next rating to what is left
30% of the remaining 50 is 15, so your running total becomes 65%.
Round to the nearest 10
65% rounds up to a 70% combined rating on your award letter.
