    How 50% + 10% combines to 60%

    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): 50%, 10%
    2. §4.25 final combine = 55.0%
    3. Round to nearest 10 → 60%

    So 50% and 10% = 60%, which pays $1,435.02/mo in 2026 (veteran with no dependents).
