Question

I currently have the following:
Intervertebra disk disease with degeneration - 30%
Cervical spine degenerative joint disease - 30%
Degenerative joint disease, right knee - 30% (bilateral right lower)
Degenerative joint disease, left knee - 30% (bilateral left lower)
left shoulder injury - 10% (bilateral left upper)
left elbow condition - 10% (bilateral left upper)
right elbow condition - 10% (bilateral right upper)
thoracic outlet syndrome left upper extremity - 10% (bilateral left upper)
thoracic outlet syndrome right upper extremity - 10% major (bilateral right upper)
radiculitis right lower extremity - 10% (bilateral right lower)
radiculitis left lower extremity - 10% (bilateral right lower)
refractive-error (eye surgery lasik) - 0%
nasal deviation - 0%
hypertension - 0%
I'm not quite sure how to figure in the bilateral factor. I computed 91% which rounds down to 90%.
I currently have an appeal pending on the thoracic outlet since I have also been diagnosed with carpal tunnel (both right and left) and a claim for depression due to chronic pain secondary to sc with a GAF listed at 50.
I was scheduled for a sleep study because my VA doc believes I have sleep apnea (secondary to sc) but the VA no longer has a contract with the hospital. I am going to get the study done through a private physician. Will the VA accept this or will I have to go through a C&P exam if the civilian doctor diagnoses me with sleep apnea.
Any assistance/opinions on these would be greatly appreciated.
