Several years ago i was rate at 10% for Tinnitus and 20% for Diabetus. I just recieved as the result of a reevaluation requested by the VA a upgrade because of nuropathy and other related heart problems a new rateing of 50% but nothing for the tinnitus. When i called the VA they said that it was a computer program and because the way my rating was setup 20% for nuro. 20% for Diab. and 10% for heart probllems that the 10% for the tinnitus was not added in it just seems to have disappeared what is with that? did my hearing get better?:confused: can any one give me an expanation for this

Tinnitus
I'm think'n it's probably because of VA math. You know, where 10+10=10 and 10+20=20 and 20+20=30 and 20+30=40 and so on and so forth. So, your 20 for Diabetus and 20 for nuropethy and 10 for heart problems and 10 for tinnitus would eaqual 50. 20+20+10+10= 50 becuase of something about being divisable by 10 or something. Anyway, 10% for any heart thing sounds low to me.
Good Luck
