Alliswell2021 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hey the following are my rating what should my rating be? The VA rep told me to use the calculator but I get a different rating on the VA CFR chart. Left knee chondromalacia of the patella with degenerative arthritis 10% Tinnitus 10% Bilateral pes planus, plantar fasciitis, and hammer toes 10% Lumbosacral strain 10% Secondary to Lumbosacral strain left lower extremity 10% Secondary to Lumbosacral strain right lower extremity 10% Sinusitis 30% Cervical syndrome with degenerative arthritis of the spine 10% Secondary to cervical syndrome migraine headaches 30% Right knee chondromalacia of the patella with degenerative arthritis 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator pacmanx1 Posted August 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2021 30% +30% = 51, 51 + 10% = 56, 56 + 10 = 60, 60 + 10% = 64, 64 + 10% = 68, 68 + 10% = 71, 71 +10% = 74, 74 + 10% = 77, 77 + 10% = 79 and then the VA rounds up to a combined 80% rating. Now if you have a bilateral rating this may be a little off but the higher you go the harder it is to reach the 100% combined rating with only 10% and 30% ratings.

Carl the Engineer Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 10 +10=19 +10=27 +10=34 +10=41, plus bilateral factor of 4.1 =45.1 rounds down to 45 +30=62 +30=73 +10=76 +10=78 +10=80 No rounding needed, a solid 80. You need at least a 30, or equivalent to get to 90% and at least a 80 to get to 100% Keep plugging along, Hamslice Fun with VA math!

VA math goes from the greatest/severest/highest disability then add the rest. (a) To use table I, the disabilities will first be arranged in the exact order of their severity, beginning with the greatest disability and then combined with use of table I as hereinafter indicated. As stated bilateral is something separate. Edited August 13, 2021 by pacmanx1 Alliswell2021 and Carl the Engineer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated bilateral is something separate. Yes, but, Bilateral's first, then the bilateral factor, then the rest, highest numbers first, both times. I have proven the online bilateral calculator(s) incorrect at least once in the past. The pencil works best, Hamslice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
