from 92% to 100%

[fmfdoc]

I have a VA Math question. Currently, I am at 92.34 and getting paid for 90%. Assuming I receive 30% more that would put me at 94.64

Question: does the rating of 94.64 launch me to 100%?

Close, you always start with your highest ratings and the bilateral are added and then you continue with your other disabilities and round up or down at the end. 

30+30=51; 51+20=61; 61+10=65; 65+10=69 and then you round to 70%.

The 51+20 (10+10)=61 is the bilateral factor

Pete;

So the bi-laterals are a "true" 10/10 and not 19 combined?  Thanks!

two bilateral ratings of 10% would equal (10+10 VA MATH or 19) X 1.1 = 20.9 or rounded up to 21

Va doesn't use "decimals" so what is the 1.1?  Curious???

You add 10% to the ratings total  (the bilateral factor) 1.1 = 110%

You know that is something I never thought about. Bilateral is added not combined so (10+10) bilateral should be 20 but 10 combined with another 10 is 19.  Another way VA screws over veterans.

OK guru's,

Say you are billateral shoulder 10 shoulder 20 and elbow 20, which I am for a total 42 before we add non bilaterals, but now you get another set of bilaterals, foot, foot, ankle.

Do all the bilaterals get added together and then the bilateral factor for all five and then move on to the other straight disabilities, or, bilaterals seperate than added, then added to straight?

I will let you all know if that happpens to me.

Fun with math,
