Barbara,
I don't think the BVA would be obligated to award the same disability rating as the Social Security Administration (SSA) as they are looking at different qualifications. The SSA typically looks at all your medical problems in order to come up with a disability rating where the BVA looks at your service connected medical problems to come up with a rating.
Cheers
