ptsd How Does 120%=80%

[hawkcrewchief]

How does this add up to you guys...?

50% PTSD

30% Headaches

10% TBI

10% TMJ

10% Tinnutus

Is it just me or did my math skills go out along with my mind... I just received my rating for PTSD and TBI today, but I am real confused on how they rated this along with my old stuff. I was 30% before the top three ratings and now I am 80...? I thank god everyday and HADIT for what I have I am grateful trust me. But I am just confused and would like to understand this better plz and thank you.

GOD BLESS all HADIT members for there help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <_<

Think of it this way: If you are 60% disabled you are 40% able bodied. If you get an additional 30% for something is has to come out of the 40% you have let. That would be 30% of 40% which equals 12%. You would add 12% to 60%. You round off the 12% to 10% and you have a new rating of 70%.
