In the mean time I would write a brief letter, "today," requesting that you be awarded P&T and I would mail it, either certified, return receipt requested or w/delivery confirmation, to your VARO, by 10/31/2013.
The letter can be a simple as:
"Dear Sirs,
Please consider this a claim for Permanent & Total (P&T) status, for my 100% rating, for my SC PTSD award. I am over 55yo, have had this rating for over 5 yrs., and the condition is static, or should be considered static, as there has been no improvement, nor is any expected, in the past 5 yrs.
I request the maximum, allowed by law, of any and all conditions/awards, known and unknown to me, at this time, and that this claim be handled in an expeditious manner.
Sincerely,
Ruffcreek
You can improve on this in any way you want but that's basically all that's needed. You are already service connected, so no statements about your stressors are necessary, now or ever again. jmo
