bern381 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 How are the percentages calculated for bilateral injuries? I have read about it under 38CFR. However, it just isn't clicking. If I had 20% for my right shoulder and 20% for the left shoulder is 10% added to that? VA math is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 9, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 9, 2007 bern I got 10% for both arm and legs and I don't think I got the benefit of any bilateral factor. I got 70% plus five 10% ratings(plus bilateral factor) and it was equal to 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Vike17 Posted May 9, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 9, 2007 bern, 10% of the combined value according to the combined ratings table is added to the two percentages. For example, in your senario 20% + 20% = 36%, so 3.6% is added to 36%. 36% + 3.6% = 39.6% rounded to 40%. Vike 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
