JayBrown1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) 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? Edited December 30, 2012 by JayBrown1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghp0405 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 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...
meghp0405 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 89.5 is what I came up with. Man this math really sucks. using the 38 CFR, section 4.25, Table 1, his disabilities add up to 89%. I would guess that you are using a caculator to coome up with the .5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theblaze Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bilaterals must be done first. Combining 60% (Right Knee), 40% (Left Knee), 10% (Left Ankle) and 10% (Left Hip) we get to 80% To that we must add the bilateral factor of 10% 80% x .10 = 8% So 80+8=88% Then continuing to combine we get: 88% combined with 40%(Back) = 93% 93% combined with 10% (Scar) = 94% This rounds down to 90% Any additional 10% that your friend gets will get him to 95% which will make him 100% Hope this helps, Happy New Year!

halos2 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Va math % do suck...I know a GWV who is 80% with the lovely VA math which is what he gets, even though regular is 160% Gotta love VA math !! That's what they use to pay with. So looks like 90 here rounded off...is correct for your claim % listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
