How does the VA, determine what percentage you get by the injuries while serving in the millitary?
Is there some kind of chart that involves injuries to percentages?
Best answer:
Here is what the compensation will be:

Here is the criteria:

The VA has a rating system that you can find in pdf form. It breaks everything down from bad to worst. I have tinnitus which can be 0%, 10% or 30%.
30% only if you have fainting and vertigo spells. So, everything has a predetermined maximum.
The percentage is determined by the disability it causes you in everyday life. You must show certain things too. You must show service medical records that connect the disability. If you claim something such as PTSD then you must show that you were in combat or that you were raped. Showing that you went to Iraq or Afghanistan is not enough. You must show a specific firefight, IED or attack. CIB alone can show this but a CAB cannot. I
I could give you more information if I knew what you specifically wanted to know.
