Instead of both wounds being
rated against th* same scale ot
100 per cent, the vet ls con- "
sldered to be left wlthonlyCOper
cant of his body to dlsablo after
th* lac amputation. Therefore
for hi* stomach disability he Is
paid only 30 per cent of th* remaining 60 p*r cant left alter
amputation. Thi* amounts to It

should gat.
In other words, tha first wound
1* paid by straight percentage, but
remaining wounds ar* paid oa an
ever-decreasing basis, therefore
the money dtff*r*nc« botween 80
par cent and 100 per cant la
roughly 3200, even though full
disability paya around 1800.
According to these vets the VA

disability payments under an unfair rating system, and a* ln
bureaucracy they arc considered
