@stevespen it's an addition to your income.  take amount entered from schedule A for medical expenses.  That amount is then limited to amount in excess of 7.5% of AGI for Federal.  For VA Purposes that amount is limited to amount in excess of 10% of AGI.  Ex. 100k in AGI has a limit for federal of only amounts of medical over 7500.  For VA it's for medical expenses only in amounts over $10k.  So if you had $9k in medical expenses, you add back $1,500, the full amount allowed for federal as no amount exceeded the limits.  If you had $11k in medical expenses you will add back only $500.
