Recieved A Letter From Dav

Rate this question

Question

I recieved a letter from the dav today. The VA increased my rating for depression from 30% to 70%. I have yet to recieve my letter from the VA. The letter from the dav is dated September 7th. I am service connected also for a bilateral knee disability. Right knee rated 40%, left knee rated 40% (knee replacement for both). When I do the math with the bilateral factor, rounding up I get a rating of 100%. Can the experts here do the math and tell me if I am right. thanks

So did I (89% rounded up to 90%)

70% (30% remaining) 70%

40% 40%x30% 12%

40% 40%x18% 7%

89% rounded to 90%

I came up with 90-percent, but I am admittedly new at this.

Good luck!

this is what i got

Service connected for the following

40% for each knee

70% for depression:

40% of 100 =40%

40% of 60 = 24%

total = 64%

With the bilateral factor 10% of 64 = 6.4%

36 is left over

70% of 36 = 25.2%

64% + 25.2% = 89.2%

at the bilateral factor 6.4% + 89.2% = 95.6% rounded up is 100%

Is my va math correct or did I add the bilateral factor incorrectly?
