Validation Test Cases

15 test cases from JR 13 Report validating the VA combined rating formula (38 CFR 4.25)

About These Test Cases

These 15 validation cases were created by JR 13 on December 27, 2025, to ensure accurate implementation of the VA combined rating formula. Each case tests different scenarios including:

Single and multiple conditions
Bilateral conditions (both sides of body)
Rounding thresholds (74% vs 75%)
Complex multi-condition combinations
Edge cases (100% rating, low ratings)

Using These Test Cases

1. Manual Testing: Enter the conditions from each test case into the calculator and verify the results match the expected values.

2. Understanding Rounding: Notice how cases #9 (74%) and #10 (76%) demonstrate the VA's rounding rules: values ending in 0-4 round down, 5-9 round up.

3. Bilateral Factor: Cases #4, #12, and #15 show how bilateral conditions receive an additional 10% boost before combining with other conditions.

4. Source: These test cases are based on official VA regulations (38 CFR 4.25) and validated against the 2025 VA compensation rate tables.
