Disability ratings are not additive, meaning that if a Veteran has one disability rated 60% and a second disability 20%, the combined rating is not 80%. This is because subsequent disability ratings are applied to an already disabled Veteran, so the 20% disability is applied to a Veteran who is already 60% disabled.

The VA's calculations use a percentage of the Veteran's remaining non-disabled percentage when adding the next disability percentage. For example, if a veteran had three disabling conditions rated at 30%, 20% and 20%, the VA would first apply the largest percentage, 30%.

Based on this criteria, veterans with a 70 percent VA disability rating are eligible for enrollment in Priority Group 1. Veterans in Priority Group 1 are eligible to receive all their health care services through VA with no copays. Some of these services include: Preventive care.
