VA Disability Condition Ratings

Short guides to current rating criteria in 38 CFR Part 4, plus the official 2026 monthly amount for a veteran with no dependents. VA assigns the rating. These pages do not.

A condition rating is not the same as a combined rating. If you have more than one disability, use the VA disability calculator. The 2026 pay chart has dependent amounts. How VA math works explains 38 CFR 4.25 and 4.26.

Pay at a combined rating, with dependents, is on the 50%, 70%, 90%, and 100% pages.
