Hello all, I know or think I know all about VA math BUT you guys tell me if this right:

60 heart

20 db2

10 PN left foot

70%

70%

that is where I am but when I kick in the bi-lateral rt and left foot it goes to 75 which would be comped at 80% correct? Y am i not geting the bi-lateral??

74.668 rounds down to 70%

bilateral factor on feet is 10% + 10% = 19% x 1.10 (balateral factor) = 20.9%

60% + 20.9% + 20% = 74.668%, which rounds down to 70%

Bilateral factor is both ratings combined normally, then 10% of that total is added to it, then it gets factored in with all the other ratings.

In the rest of the world .668 would get you the next higher number but I do not believe the VA even use any . numbers (.5 goes to the higher number)

Ricky, That is kinda what i was coming up with. I will have to ask my VSO if there is something to do about this.

Thanks, Stillhere

you would think so, but you literally have to get to 75.0 (whole number) before the VA will round it up to the next higher percentage.
