Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.
How to claim it
- 1Check your residency at entry into service first.
- 2Bring the rating decision — the 40% test is applied per limb, so the document showing each limb matters more than the combined figure.
- File with
- Your County Director of Veterans Affairs
- Documents you will need
- dd214 · va rating decision
- No renewal
- Once granted it does not need renewing.
Worth knowingThe 40% test is applied to EACH affected limb, not to your combined rating. Our rule uses the combined figure as a proxy because that is what a veteran can answer, but the Commission reads the per-limb ratings — bring the rating decision, not the summary letter.
Worth knowingIt also reaches a veteran who has not lost limbs but has lost their USE, which is what makes it a paralysis provision as well as an amputation one.
