As another poster who answered JB - it seems many people really don't understand the VAs system and how disabilities are awarded.
Oh lordy. The VA rates disabilities in 10% increments. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.
But if they did use a 25% disability, four different 25% disabilities would add up to a 69% disability rating. Which would then be rounded to a 70% disability rating.
Yes, you definitely don't understand the VA system and disability ratings are awarded.
