Shoulder rated as one or separate?

So based of my motion for each arm it falls under the 20% category. My dominant arm is right how does it affect the rating for it?
All of the answers are in the VASRD, I think I may have already posted this for you in the past week...

Got it thanks but based of the VASRD it mentions the rating up to 45 degrees for 30% for dominat arm. What happens if is 50 degrees in my case where will that fall under. That is what I am confused about.
50% is greater than 45% (anything between 46* and 90* gets 20%) so you get 20%. You stated both arms have the same range of motion in your previous post when you provided a partial copy of the exam notes.
Just like the last time I replied, if that is the case you get 20% for the left arm and 20% for the right arm. The two arms do not get combined, they are rated seperately.

That is right you did reply. I appreciate all your help and clarification on this. I was confused with the rating since I also have issues with both my feet but was told they get rated as one for flat feet.
That is why it is good to read the VASRD or reference "military disability made easy". Even if I quote it, I still check the VASRD since it is the federal code.
On the feet, if they can only rate at 10% then both get rated as one. If one of the two can get rated higher than 10% or both higher than 10% then they get rated seperately.
