How are veterans' disability benefits rated?

Veterans disability benefits are rated on a scale of 10% disabling to 100% disabling, and are rated at 10% increments. If a Veteran has more than one disability, the total percentages are not added together, a formula designed by the Federal Goverment is used to calculate the overall rating of disability that the Veteran has sustained.
