Veterans’ Legal Series Episode 3: “Evaluating the Degree of Disability of a Service-Connected Disability”
by CBJC Staff December 22, 2015
In this third installment of the Veterans’ Legal Series from the City Bar Justice Center, Veterans Assistance Project Director Kent Eiler discusses how the VA evaluates the degree of disability of a service-connected injury or disease. After the VA determines a veteran is eligible to receive (and qualifies for) disability compensation, Kent explains the next step in the VA’s process in which it determines the severity of the disability and assigns a percentage evaluation, from 0 to 100, based on the VA’s Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
