MAX4VETS® is the ONLY interactive website with tools designed to help veterans accurately
compile a list of service connected injuries or diseases for which they may be entitled
to receive compensation through the Veterans Administration. By establishing an
account you can build a personal database using the benefits calculator to assist
with maximizing entitlements through CFR Title 38 Part 4. Service Members can begin
to build their database immediately, increasing the probability of approval when they eventually
submit their claim. Secondly it will assist the service member in having a better
understanding of the benefits they may be entitled to and awarded. It is crucial
for a veteran or service member to understand the importance of properly submitting
a claim since approximately 80% of all claims are denied.
Title 38 Part 4 (the rating schedule)
is primarily a guide in the evaluation of disability resulting from all types of
diseases and injuries encountered as a result of or during military service. The
percentage ratings represent as far as can practicably be determined the average
impairment in earning capacity resulting from such diseases and injuries and their
residual conditions in civil occupations.
Generally, the degrees of disability specified
are considered adequate to compensate for considerable loss of working time from
exacerbations or illnesses proportionate to the severity of the several grades of
disability. For the application of this schedule, accurate and fully descriptive
medical examinations are required, with emphasis upon the limitation of activity
imposed by the disabling condition.
Over a period of many years, a veteran's disability
claim may require re-ratings in accordance with changes in laws, medical knowledge
and his or her physical or mental condition. It is thus essential, both in the examination
and in the evaluation of disability, that each disability be viewed in relation
to its history.
