Uses VA math (38 C.F.R. § 4.25) with optional bilateral factor (38 C.F.R. § 4.26). Rounds to nearest 10%.
How it works: Conditions are sorted highest to lowest. For each paired extremity (both arms or both legs), ratings on the left and right are first combined; then 10% of that bilateral value is added. Those bilateral totals are then combined with any remaining ratings. This tool does not yet apply Special Monthly Compensation rules.
