How does DoD address the alignment between DoD disability ratings and VA disability ratings?

DoD and VA operate independently with no coordination.

DoD and VA coordinate to align medical findings with the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities, with DoD handling fitness determinations and VA handling disability compensation.

The main idea is that DoD and VA work together to translate a service member’s medical findings into ratings that reflect the same level of impairment, using the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities as the common reference. DoD conducts fitness determinations through its Disability Evaluation System to decide if a member is fit for duty or should be retired or separated. VA then uses the same medical evidence to assign a disability rating for compensation based on the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities. This coordinated approach ensures consistency between the duty status decision and the compensation rating, even though the two agencies handle different outcomes.

VA determines fitness for duty and DoD handles disability compensation.

DoD assigns disability ratings that are identical to VA ratings automatically.
