   You can never be more than 100% disabled. It’s very confusing, but this is how it’s figured:

   100% – 30% = 70%
   70% – 10% = 63% (10% of 70% is 7)
   63% – 10% = 57% (10% of 63% is 6.3, rounded down to 6)

   100 (the whole body) – 57 (what’s left over that’s good of the body) = 43, rounded to the nearest 10th = 40% (the amount of disability)

   40% is your rating. Also remember that 57…because if you get another 10% then it’s from the 57, not the 100 or even the 40.

   30%
   It isn’t a calculation of addition as opposed to taking the highest rated disability and that is what you will be rated at. If it weren’t for the jaw, 10%.
