Ratings Calculator For Bilaterals & Non-Bilaterals

[chr49]

Here's our version of a ratings calculator that will do both bilateral and non-bilateral ratings(my wife, the perfectionist, did most of the work on this). We are hoping that others will find it useful. There are no guarantees that it will work 100% of the time but it's done well in our testing so far.

Thank you for your comments. We would like to be able to help membership out with this calculator. If it is a success, we'd be honored to have it placed on the site.

So far, testing (on my original file) has been 100% successful (cross checking with the VBA 38CFR Combined ratings table and using the 10% bilateral factor). We'd like to have Hadit members run their percentages to see if it works for them before we'd be able to call it a complete success.

Good job Clair and Kathy! Thanks...

We'd like to run a test on the calculator.

Many members don't have the Excel program or don't want to download unknown files to their computer, so we're willing to run the ratings thru the calculator. We'd like to run tests with and without bilateral disabilities.

Post or private message your disability ratings list (numbers only)& your final rating so we can cross check our findings. Please indicate which of your ratings require using the bilateral factor.

Here's a listing example:

40 Bilateral

20 Bilateral

30 Bilateral

30 Bilateral

50

20

10

VA rating: 100%
