What is a service-connected disability?
? "Service-connected" (SC) means the disability was a result of disease
or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service. These
disabilities are evaluated according to the Department of Veterans
Affairs¡¯ (VA¡¯s) Schedule for Rating Disabilities in Title 38, U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 4.
? Service-connected disability ratings are graduated based on the
degree of the Veteran¡¯s disability on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, in
increments of 10 percent.
? Zero percent is a valid rating and is different than having no rating at
all. Of Veterans rated SC 0%, only those receiving Special Monthly
Compensation were included in this analysis.
