If, for any condition, only one rating has been obtained in Step 1 but more than one rating has been obtained in Step 2, combine the ratings for that condition obtained in Step 2 using Chapter 18 (Combined Values Chart). Compare the rating for that condition obtained in Step 1 with the combined value of the ratings for that condition obtained in Step 2. Take the higher rating. This is the final rating for that gastrointestinal condition.

   For the purpose of the final combining of all values, if the higher value is made up of a combination of ratings, then the component ratings are to be used.
