Is my rating correct if not is it a cue or ?

I hope this is in the right place.

I've decided to ask for increase in Sc conditions plus ask for a couple of secondary claims. Decided to see how I was rated my decision is very complicated.  My only concern was I serviced connected  for arthritis in all joints and back and granted 100% so I didn’t pay attention to the decision.

I asked for TDIU in 2010 the DRO stated it was moot as I was 100% secular.  I’ve added my Disability ratings up and I do not get 100%.

my ratings are 70, 30, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10.  This comes to 94.356 from my understanding that’s not 100%.  Am I wrong?  I have 9 additional 0% that should have been rated at least 10%, 10 years ago, now they should be much higher I’ve had 28 epidural injections in my back, plus my hands and knees.  Recently had a discectomy.  My 30% I think is worse and would be rated 60% now.

My question if I apply for increase and 2 secondary conditions.  Can the VA say oops your not 100% and you owe back pay as I did get mid 5 figures for back pay.  Even though the TDIU was moot because of the secular.  I can’t lose this income so I’m thinking of not asking for increase but I need SMC.  I use a walker and a scooter given by the VA for my ambulatory issues arthritis and other nsc issues ( threw a clot during surgery). 

if I apply I’m sure I will need help with forms it’s been almost 10 years since I applied for anything

Thanks for your thoughts.

That is the problem with many things, including mental health.  They combine them, because you can only get compensated for one set of symptoms.  

The docs often say that they can not seperate, for example, PTSD symptoms with MDD, so you just get one rating, mostly based upon how your mental disorder affects your working
