So I was initially rated under a "general" foot condition at 30% for an injury I sustained on active duty and have had multiple surgeries on since. I have since developed flat feet. My current appeal is claiming flat feet, lower back(degenerative disc disease w/radiculopathy) condition secondary to my leg condition, and to have my CRPS/RSD rated under the appropriate code as a neurological disorder and not a general "foot" condition.
So my question is this. If I am granted everything I claimed will I have two ratings for my foot/lower leg? I.e. I am currently rated as the equivalent of the great toe and 2nd/3rd toe being amputated(post-operative w/scarring). Would I keep that rating as well as being added the % for CRPS/RSD? They are technically two different issues. Or will this fall under the clause of only be rated for the greater of the two?
Also if I am awarded the claim for bi-lateral flat feet. Would they only consider it 1 foot as my SC foot is already covered? Or again would that stack?

Thanks for any insight.
