va.gov also shows 80% and not 100% that the board of veterans affairs granted me. I live in California and went trough hell to get the VA exemption and get my VA disable license plate after talking to the DMV supervisor. I have friends who are TDIU and are rated at 100%

I was awarded 80% combined rating in Oct 2018. I was awarded TDIU P&T on Nov 17, 2021 granted by the Veterans Board of Appeals. The San Diego Regional Office said nI am not 100% but 80% but the VA is paying me at the 100% ratings. They keep my ratings listed at 80% when I log on and on E-Benefits there is no mentioning of the TDIU ratings. They keep showing my 80% combined ratings that is hurting me from getting what a 100% veteran is entitled to get like free vehicle registration and property tax exemption for totally disabled veterans. I wrote the IG on two occasions and he told me to take it to the regional office and let them correct it, and the second time I wrote him he provided me a 800 number to call. I called the 800 and filled out a case request. I was contacted by a veteran advocate and the first thing out of his mouth was what do I want? He said I was only 80% and he was not going to change it because he do claims everyday and the judge at the board of appeals do not know what he is doing. When I showed him the paperwork that says I am 100% he said that the judge do not mean that. We go into a heated exchange and he hung up in my face. What he didn't know is I had met him at a veteran support group in Santa Ana at an attorney office. He came riding his bicycle. I showed him a comprehensive report that I had obtained from the EPA detailing the various chemicals that I was exposed while stationed at the base. He said that is a good report then he said it is too much information and no claim adjudicator will take the time to read through it. I asked him for a business card and he took one of his cards and scratch off some numbers and rewrote some phone numbers on it. When I returned home I tried calling the numbers he wrote down and all of them were out of service. How can my ratings be fixed and this employee disciplined? Also adjudicator or claim analyst needs to read raining Letter 07-01 Total Disability Ratings Based on Individual Unemployability (IU) 100% UI 53122.pdf
