I was reading through my Va rating decision packet. On page 2 it states that “evaluation of left lower sciatic radiculopathy currently at 10% is continued.” Than on page 4 it states “evaluation of left lower sciatic radiculopathy currently at 10% is assigned a 20% evaluation based on MODERATE INCOMPLETE PARALYSIS.” So I called the VA, the gentleman I spoke to said it shows 20% in their system and disregard the 10% typo. My question is how do I know what % they used to calculate my disability rating? The difference in my calculations using 10% or 20% with the bilateral factor changes my rating.

The bilateral factor would be used for your knees. From what I am reading, the bilateral factor may or may not be used for your radiculopathy. Too hard for me to figure that out. However, if yo
