This is alittle out of the norm, but my situation is forcing me to search all available options. First, I'll give you the short backstory: I have a 10% rating for PTSD, and two 0% ratings for injuries suffered on active duty. Approx. 700 days ago, I submitted a NOD to have my rating increased, and am still awaiting the decision. After getting out the Army, my plan was to become a police officer, under the assumption that no employer can see or legally question you on a VA disability rating. I just found out that in fact, Law Enforcement departments can indeed see your ratings, and it can impair your employability in this line of work. I recently got married, and live with my wife, my new stepdaughter, and we have a baby on the way. I'm in college on the Post 9/11 GI Bill which is helping pay my bills. My wife is concerned about our financial situation because I will have to pay for college out of pocket later in my coursework when my benefits run out. She is also concerned that without my original career plan (Law Enforcement) that we don't have a concrete path ahead of us. So with this being said, can I request that the VA dismiss my PTSD rating? Is there anyway to perform such a request? Thanks for your help, guys!

This is a different sort of question than what's normally asked...and in fact it's something I just considered recently. Here's the situation, I have a 10% rating for PTSD, that is currently pending review for my NOD. In fact it's been 710 days since I've submitted my NOD. Anyway, I am in college right now, but my wife is pregnant and we already have a 4 yr old stepdaughter. She's concerned about our future because a couple years from now my GI benefits will run out and I will have to pay out of pocket for college....which will obviously hamper our finances. My original plan was to become a police officer after getting out of the Army...under the assumption that no employers can see or ask about the VA disability ratings. I've been told recently that this is not the case, and in fact they can see your VA ratings, and will take them into consideration during hiring...especially with something like PTSD. So, here I am. I'm just exploring my options, and I know that if my PTSD rating was removed rather than increased (like I have a pending NOD for), then my likelihood of getting employment in Law Enforcement is increased considerably. Is there a way to request that the VA dismiss my disability rating? Thanks all!
