1 of the 2 compensable levels is 30% or higher, where dependents raise the payment; below that the rate is flat. The spread from the lowest paid level to the highest is $372.05 a month. The last column shows the combined rating if this condition is joined by a 10% tinnitus rating.
How this rating fits a claim
No level of this code reaches the 40% that 38 CFR 4.16(a) looks for in one disability, so it adds to a combined rating rather than anchoring one. A rating under DC 7010 is combined with every other rating by Table I, never added; the calculator shows the result with your other ratings and dependents.
The rating is set from the evidence at the time of the decision, usually including a VA examination. If the condition has worsened since, VA accepts a claim for an increase on VA Form 21-526EZ; see how to request an increase.
