Re Examination?

[roses15534]

I just got my rating increased from 30% to 80% and on the decision letter it stated for my fibromyalgia condition went from 10% to 40% and it said note an examination will be scheduled at a future date to evaluate the severity of your service connected fibromyalgia. Now they just did a comp and pension on it why are we doing this again? when will this be? what is it for really?

Because you are most likely not considered permanent and total. Just remember this. At any tiime the VA feels like it they can examine you for your service connected disabilities regardless of status.

Dont worry too much about it. It is usually 2 years between exams.

Congratulations on your increase. And thanks for your service.

I have a question. I'm not up to speed on fibromyalgia. Is that a viral infection?
