Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using knowyourvarating.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, please do not use the Site. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time; continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone else who accesses the Site or uses our free tools and educational resources.
Description of Service
Know Your VA Rating provides free web-based tools and educational content designed to help veterans understand the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits system. Our current offerings include a VA disability rating calculator, a compensation estimator, and a library of informational articles and guides.
Know Your VA Rating is an independent website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any other government agency. Our tools and content are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.
Disclaimer - Not Legal or Financial Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, financial advice, or medical advice. The content, tools, calculators, quizzes, and guides provided by Know Your VA Rating are intended purely for general educational purposes.
Important Notice Regarding the VA Calculator
The VA disability rating calculator and compensation estimator on this Site produce estimates only. These results are mathematical approximations based on publicly available VA combined ratings formulas and published compensation rate tables. They are not a guarantee, prediction, or determination of any actual VA rating or benefit award.
Actual VA disability ratings are determined solely by VA adjudicators through the official VA claims process. Ratings depend on a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, the specific medical evidence submitted, examinations conducted by VA-appointed physicians (C&P exams), adjudicator discretion, applicable regulations at the time of the decision, and any secondary or aggravated conditions. No online tool can replicate that process.
Do not rely on any estimate from this Site as the basis for financial, legal, or medical decisions. Always consult a VA-accredited claims agent, a Veterans Service Organization (VSO), or a licensed attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
By using our calculator, estimator, or any other tool on the Site, you acknowledge that you understand the results are estimates only and agree not to hold Know Your VA Rating liable for any decisions made based on those results.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Know Your VA Rating, its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content - including but not limited to damages resulting from reliance on any calculator output, tool result, or article on the Site.
The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We make no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content on the Site, and VA benefit rates and regulations can change - always verify current figures with official VA sources at va.gov.
