Don't know what question you were going to ask but your combined rating would be 40%, not 50%. You cannot add the various awards and arrive at a total. They must be combined according to the combined Ratings Table in 38 CFR Section 4.25.

When I combine your three ratings, I arrive at 40%.

30% + 10% is 37%
37% + 10% is 43%
43% is rounded to the nearest percentage divisable by 10.
That's 40%
