    How 20% + 10% combines to 30%

    The VA does not add ratings. Under 38 CFR §4.25, each disability is applied to your remaining healthy capacity, highest first. Here is the exact math:

    1. Conditions entered (sorted high→low): 20%, 10%
    2. §4.25 final combine = 28.0%
    3. Round to nearest 10 → 30%

    So 20% and 10% = 30%, which pays $552.47/mo in 2026 (veteran with no dependents).
