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. 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.

If it weren't for the jaw, 10%. 30%
