chr49 got a reaction from Palma114 in Va Math - Determining Your Rating
I located a bilateral calculator (works for bilateral or non-bilateral)on another site that does a pretty decent job. I did a little experimenting with it and it was correct until I hit the higher levels. Once I got to 94% and added the appropriate amount to take me to 95% it kept me at 94%. In the end, it's best to go to the regulations and use their chart to double check. Calculators are fun to mess with though.

As already mentioned, the next step of your claim, now that you won sc, is for the VA to lowball or noball you. Or, they may just skip to hornswaggling you on the effective date right away. Let us know which they do.

I know this post is gotten old but I thought others might be interested in reading the BVA decision on my case. I have mixed feelings every time I read it because of the struggle I had getting to this point. Here's a link to the decision: http://www.va.gov/vetapp15/Files5/1541030.txt
If the link doesn't work here's the info you'll need [or search 2015 files for PTSD, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension]

Thank you for the great tips. Much appreciated!!
I have neck problems that have gotten worse due to dives out of bed during nightmares so the doctors tend to related most of my symptoms to my neck. I've been putting off the surgery due to the fact that I need to be able to work.
I have just started using secure messaging so I will continue to do that.

Congratulations.
Bilateral carotid artery disease will be rated, like other maladies, on symptoms. What are your symptoms? If you dont have symptoms, then it will likely be 0 percent.

if they do lowball your rating for it you can...
1) Appeal that
2) just start going to va for those symptoms especially. i recommend doing the Secure message transcription so its not lost in the sauce. Before every appointment list out ALL the symptoms you think are associated with the condition so its logged in your medical record. Then have the appointment. Repeat repeat repeat. Then after a year or so, apply for an increase. This way they cant ignore that you HAVE REPORTED THE SYMPTOMS.
