I have tried to figure out how the VA is rating Parkinson's Disease, and I am having much difficulty deciphering the rating schedule. I have done a little bit of research, but just can not seem to grasp how PD is really rated. I have read 30% initial rating, we know this is true.
My question is, once they start rating all the other aspects/secondaries does that initial 30% stay and combine with all the secondaries or do they disregard the initial 30% and just rate on all the "secondaries"?
I have tried to do some research but I'll I seem to come up with is contradiction, in the way PD has been rated. It appears as though some raters add the secondaries to the 30% and some do not. Even with research of some of the citations, I am still unable to comprehend how the VA is rating this disease.
