OK, I was still factoring in the plantar fascitis since it was bilateral. I didn't realize the amputee umbrella would knock that out too. I'll look into getting that changed to a unilateral claim. I was also just reading about the bilateral factor since I have injuries on both legs, would that factor in here? I'm not sure how to do that either. Thanks so much for your information! I feel like I've been going in circles with all these numbers!

Hi all. I've been looking through the forums and am still struggling to figure out why my total disability rating is 70%. I'd much appreciate any feedback. Based upon e-benefits, my ratings are as follows... * Patellofemoral syndrome, LEFT knee (claimed as knee pain) 10% * LEFT ankle sprain 20% * LEFT lower amputation umbrella (I am not an amputee) 40% *Osteoarthritis with p. syndrome, RIGHT knee(claimed as knee pain) 10% *RIGHT knee limitation of flexion (previously rated as p. syndrome) - claimed as knee pain 10% *Tinnitus (claimed as ringing in ears) 10% *IBS 30% *bilateral hearing loss 0% *LEFT foot plantar fascittis with 1st and 2nd MTP joint degenerative changes 0% *Bilateral plantar fascittis (previously rated as LEFT foot plantar fascittis) 50% ** (secondary) LEFT foot metatarsalgia 10% *LEFT knee limitation due to p.syndrome (previously rated as p.syndrome) - claimed as knee pain 10% I understand that some of the 10%s won't count, as they were previously rated. As far as I can tell, the amputee umbrella cancels out the other percentages given for the lower left leg, but what about the bilateral plantar fascittis? Thanks so much for any info.
