Ratings Calculator For Bilaterals & Non-Bilaterals

Rate this question

Question

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.

Forman1983,

Combined Bilateral = 55 +10%=60.5 (Rounded 61)

Combined with Non-Bilateral = 61 + 10 = 65

Final Rating: 70%

Great test of the bilateral formula

Thanks so much

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

Just wanted you all to know, I've added the ability to add bilateral calculations to my calculator at www.veteranscalculator.com

Hope it helps the community

If you want to calculate your disability percentage (current and pending according to VA Math) or your estimated back pay that may be due to you when you win or have won your request for Service Connection for your appeal, go here to the Veterans Calculator (http://www.veteranscalculator.com)

I like it, I like it allot. I have been doing the pencil thing for a while with different scenarios and this will make that a little funner. I put in my numbers (I have one bilateral) and your calculator is right on the money.

Thanks again,

Now, I'm going to go play with it for a while.....

Giz,

You calculator is really nice. However, when I enter a single 10% bilateral, the bilateral rating subtotal (including 10% bonus) comes out to 20% instead of 11% (10% x 1.1 = 11%). Unfortunately, this throws off the rest of the calculations.

Thanks

Good Morning!

I've used a version, and created a scenario tab as well as a list of medications and providers tabs. On my rating tabs, I also keep a countdown/timer tab for those ratings still in the hopper; use these for making IRIS/DAV inquiries so I can quote/record the timeline each claim has followed.

Great work!
