Question
john49
Would some of you check my math to see if I'm applying the rule for "disabilities arising from a single disease entity" correctly? I have ratings of 50, 30, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10. The VA says my total rating is 80%. By applying each rating separately to the table it comes out at 82 and gets rounded down to 80%. They did not consider that the 20 and 3 of the 10's are from a single disease entity. My calculations show using the rule that the table provides an 85 which would get rounded up to 90%. Am I correct?
I have several other issues with my latest decision letter but before contacting them I wanted to check my math.
Thanks for your help.
John

No problem. We have all been wrong at times. 38 CFR part 4 can be confusing and difficult to understand. Remember, the old saying "the only dumb question is the one you don't ask." Good luck to
