You would think that they would state the disability % and the WOL rating on the SOA

Here is a link to the table of disabilities

Chapter 2 describes the QOL rating
The percentage depends on the severity of the QOL and the awarded percentage for that particular award

there used to be charts on line for everything but I haven’t looked in years, the % per severity of the body part disability and then there was a second chart that say if you were 55% disabled, you could apply it to a QOL chart ( l think it went 1-100) and say 55% disabled adds another 3% for QOL, your real disability rating would be 58% etc

It's one of the greatest mysteries of life Gunner and if we knew how Adjudicators at VAC 'calculate' percentage of disability then would we have a backlog of 50,000 applications?
