Question 4

Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 90%?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a condition like Sciatic Nerve Pain is service-connected as secondary to Hip Replacement (Prosthetic), the VA combines both ratings using the official combined-ratings formula (38 CFR 4.25), which can produce a combined rating higher than 90% alone.

Single (no dependents)	$2,362.30
With spouse	$2,559.30
With spouse + 1 child	$2,704.30
With spouse + 2 children	$2,802.30
Single + 1 child (no spouse)	$2,494.30
