[Fat]

Congrats...............

[DICK HILL]

Still waiting for retro to get to the bank - been almost 2 months.

I have a couple of questions:  Shouldn't my award letter indicate the codes used to determine the percentage?  Other question is:  EBennies says "You have a 80% final degree of disability".  Does that mean the disabilities are considered permanent and I probably won't be called back in for another C&P? 

Appreciate your thoughts.  Dick Hill

Mr. Hill you got your foot in the door.  Unfortunately you will have to do some digging.  There's usually two parts to the award letter.  One section details the regulations that pertain to your claim and the justification for the rating you were given, usually has the medical codes of your conditions.  Unless it says Permanent or no future exams needed you can be called back in.  Your ratings will have a few protection levels, however, the first is at the 5 year mark.  Other that fraud they can't sever service connection.  

Heh your win is great.  Take a breather and enjoy the victory.
