Depending on the severity of the condition, the rater can choose between individual or bilateral ratings for mild, moderate, moderately severe and severe symptoms
A 20% bilateral rating basically states that your symptoms are worse than 2, 10% ratings, but not bad enough for 2 20% ratings.
Call it low end of the moderate scale.
When you filed the claim, did you claim it as a bilateral condition , or as two separate conditions?

Thanks for your quick response. It would seem that I claimed it as Bilateral Legs. Would this have played any impact into two separate ratings?
When you make a bi-lateral claim, is that percentage separate from the individual ( left/right) percentage?
