52d Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I recently receive a rating increase that says I am rated at 70% My ratings are as follows 30% Plantar fasciitis 30% IBS 10% Tinnitis 10% Lumbar strain 10% Ankle strain According to the tables and the VA calculator on Hadit.com this equals 64.279, which would round down to 60%. Am I missing something? Did VA make a mistake and will they come after the money eventually if they did? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 K9MAL Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got a 64 for you as well using those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 georgiapapa Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 52d, I also got a 64. Check and make sure you don't have another 10% rating because one more 10% rating would compute to 68 rounded up to 70%. If not, I would call 1-800-827-1000 and see what they are showing for your awards. It is my understanding from a post I read this morning you can go to your Ebenefits account and click on "Dashboard" and get a breakdown of your different ratings. I haven't tried it yet so I am not sure. Good luck. GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted March 26, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) at 60% rating or even a less rating it use to be 60% at least you can possibly get TDIU if these disability's keeps you from working or have gainful employment?(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501)(b) It is the established policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs that all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities shall be rated totally disabled. Therefore, rating boards should submit to the Director, Compensation Service, for extra-schedular consideration all cases of veterans who are unemployable by reason of service-connected disabilities, but who fail to meet the percentage standards set forth in paragraph (a) of this section. The rating board will include a full statement as to the veteran's service-connected disabilities, employment history, educational and vocational attainment and all other factors having a bearing on the issue.[40 FR 42535, Sept. 15, 1975, as amended at 54 FR 4281, Jan. 30, 1989; 55 FR 31580, Aug. 3, 1990; 58 FR 39664, July 26, 1993; 61 FR 52700, Oct. 8, 1996; 79 FR 2100, Jan. 13, 2014].................Buck!

0 52d Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks all, I think that I saw something on the net one time about the bilateral factor. Has anyone heard of this. It would explain it to me if my bilateral plantar fasciitis was 33 instead of 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 georgiapapa Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 52d, If you had a rating for bilateral fasciitis, this would have pushed your rating up so you would have received the 70% combined rating. You can find info about bilateral rating factor at 38 CFR part 4.26. GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
52d
I recently receive a rating increase that says I am rated at 70%
My ratings are as follows
30% Plantar fasciitis
30% IBS
10% Tinnitis
10% Lumbar strain
10% Ankle strain
According to the tables and the VA calculator on Hadit.com this equals 64.279, which would round down to 60%.
Am I missing something? Did VA make a mistake and will they come after the money eventually if they did?
Thanks
