Help Determining Combined Rating

[RJ White]

Good afternoon, vets:

This is my first post. It’s a simple one. What is the combined rating for the following individual ratings:

• Right hip (limited flexion): 30 percent, effective August 2008
• Right hip (limited abduction): 20 percent, effective August 2008
• Left hip: 10 percent, effective August 2008
• Left knee: 10 percent, effective August 2008
• Eczema: 10 percent, effective January 2010
• Right shoulder: 20 percent, effective April 2014
• Left shoulder: 20 percent, effective April 2014
• Left ankle: 20 percent, effective October 2014

Please show how you reached your conclusion. I want to double-check the VA's math, or mine.  

Thank you.

Tbird:

Using that calculator I was able to produce a combined rating of 90 percent, which is the rating the VA is paying me at. Before, I could produce a rating of only 80 percent.  

And, even using this calculator, I initially produced a rounded down rating of 80 percent. But, once I specified the arms and legs, I was able to generate the maximum bilateral factor and thus produce a rounded up rating of 90 percent. 

Thank you.
