Note About Bilateral Factor
The bilateral factor is an important consideration in calculating disability ratings for veterans with disabilities affecting both sides of their body, such as both arms or both legs. This factor acknowledges that disabilities on both sides of the body can significantly amplify the overall impact on a veteran's ability to work, more so than the sum of each side considered separately. When applicable, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adds an additional percentage to the combined disability rating to account for this increased impairment.
Essentially, after calculating the combined rating for all disabilities including bilateral conditions, the VA considers the bilateral factor by adding a certain percentage to reflect the compounded functional loss or increased severity when both limbs or paired organs are affected. This ensures that the rating more accurately represents the veteran's overall level of disability and acknowledges the extra challenges faced by veterans with bilateral disabilities in their daily activities and employment opportunities.
Bilateral factor is included in the above calculation.
