HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted December 30, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 30, 2012 89.5 is what I came up with. Man this math really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Jay, I also got 90%. Use the calculator on the Hadit home page. I did it by rounding, and got 90%. If, you use the calculator you actually get 88.33%. 60% X 100% = 60% 100% - 60% = 40% 60% X 40% = 24% 60% + 24% = 84% 100% - 84% = 16% 10% X 16% = 1.6% (2%) 84% + 2% = 86% 100% - 86% = 14% 10% X 14% = 1.4% (1%) 86% + 1% = 88% 100% - 88% = 12% 10% X 12% = 1.2% (1%) 88% + 1% = 89% (rounds to 90%) Papa Jay, I also got 90%.

JayBrown1 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm sorry, I didn't mention that the painful scar was not combine but added, that's how I got 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymike Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I am terrible at this VA math, but can you bilateral factor the knees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted December 31, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 31, 2012 I need a calculator that bilaterals the hands and feet. I am sitting at 90% without bilateral factors. I used Hadit calculator. 70% 60% 10% 10% bilateral for feet (two 10% ratings one on each foot) 10% bilateral for hands (two 10% ratings one on each hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghp0405 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 My friend got his decision and rating but to me it's not adding up. He received 90 percent rating but his disabilities are Right knee 60 Left knee 40 Back 40 Left ankle 10 Left hip 10 Painful scar 10 not combine but added. My calculations came to 100 percent. Am I wrong? According to 38cfr, section 4.25, table 1, you are at 89% The VA rounds up 5 and above and rounds down 4 and below. I did this a couple of times and came to 89%. The VA rounds up to 90% which is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
