Thanks T Bird.  I could not wait for the damn decision to be delivered so I printed out from the VA websites. I still got more to go but the hard part is done I am service connected for both right and left hips. I am now Total and Permanent. It got back dated to September of 2013.  So I am elated but they claim in the decision that they couldn't rate me higher because they didn't have the operative reports which is total SHI##. I found the OP report on the left.  I am still looking for the right hip operative report.  I still have a fight ahead but I was so happy I cried. Tears of joy sadness and a whole bunch of other emotions.

I resent the operative reports so now I will wait and see what the Regional Office does.

They still dogged the ratings so back to BVA but this go around I am going to go above the BVA since the regional office won't rate correctly.
