VA in their all wise opinion feels/thinks that either you will get better or medical treatment will get better and treat your condition and or you will be cured in one way or another and it will save them (VA) money for now by not paying your dependents CH35 or CHAMPVA.
Your call if you decide to challenge the P & T or not P & T. I have seen veterans challenge the P & T issue and some were granted, some were reduced, and some were found incompetent due to a mental health rating.

Is there a published list of disabilities considered permanent?
-
I received my compensation letter notifying me that I am 100% disabled, but not permanent. I must have a review 5 years from the date of rating. Why would I get a non-permanent rating when my combined disability percentage equals 310, 280 of which are service connected? I am over 50 years old at the time the rating was given. Should I (How?) pursue getting the status changed to permanent or just wait until the five year period is over.
Submitting Fully Documented claims
in VA Disability Claims Research
Posted
I have a 100% disability rating, non-permanent. I was diagnosed with pre-glaucoma, and also was referred to a sleep apnea doctor while on active duty, and are noted in my medical records. These two issues where not on my initial claim when I retired. I have since been diagnosed and with both (Glaucoma and sleep apnea). I am hesitant to submit a claim for either, fearing it my somehow reduce my rating (VA horror stories). What would your guidance be?
