Rated Disability 10% over

[Navy89]

When I calculate my disability on any calculator via the web, I only get 63% for 60%.  But my total Combined Disability done and finalized by the VA is 70%.  Can anyone point out why or is this a mistake by VA?

Allergic Rhinitis 0%

Right Elbow Gout 10%

Right Hip Degenerative Arthritis 10%

Right Knee Patellofemoral Syndrome 10%

Left Knee Gout 10%

Gout Left Foot 0%

Gout Right Foot 0%

Facial hyperpigmentation 10%

Post Operative Buninectomy Scar 0%

Left Elbow Bursitis/Claimed as Gout 10%

Right Hallux Valgus Post Bunionectomy 10%

Hypertention 0%

Left Hallux Valgus 0%

 

 

Yeah, sorry....Facial Hyperpigmentation should read 30%

I wouldn't question VA math, they do what they want anyway.

Now, I want you to consider that all those zeros  and 10% conditions; should they worsen, only require built up medical evidence to substantiate a request for increase.

Maybe its because of bilateral factor, or maybe because you have 5 zero percenters.  

VA never makes mistakes in your favor..they always go "against the VEt".

I would say it is due to the bilateral computations.  Did you list everything correctly?  I only see 59% with the bilaterals.
