Last year I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis a neurological disorder that weakens muscles and other problems. I have had 9 hours of home health care every week since late April 2016. Recently I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and have lost use to left hand. My VA {CP filled out paper work indicating I needed help with bathing, putting on clothes, securing meals and other daily requirements.

 

My question is it possible for me to get my S Rating increased. My Service Connection is 100% P&T and 30% Pes Planus with S rating. I don't really have a lot of energy to pursue a no win claim. 

 

I pay my son $ 400 dollars a month to help out with errands and to take me to Doctors. We also have a maid who we pay $ 650 a month to help with cleaning and othr household chores that my wife and I can't do anymore.

Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

PS  For those that know me I am getting better but much slower and harder than I expected.

Pete!!! Long time no see!!!!!!

Is there any way that the carpal tunnel syndrome and/or the  myasthenia gravis

can be attributed to the 100% SC condition (s)?

I forget what you are SCed for. It sounds like you get SMC S for the housebound award.
