Gatorintel's Achievements

  1. So after five years of receiving my disability payments at 100%, the VA scheduled me for a reevaluation on my lower back degenerative disc disease, L4-S1. My other disabilities had already been given P and T, so I wasn't reevaluated on those. The doctor today did the measurement so quick that there is no way he could have line-up the measurement tool for an accurint reading. I am concerned that I will be given a lower rating on my back flexation. I have been regularly seen at the VA for PT on my back and have been scheduled for injections to reduce the pain. I have had an MRI as recent as two months ago that says my degenerative discs have not improved, but they have not gotten markably worse. I would like to know if anyone has had their back rating reduced based on maybe a 10 degree improvement in flexation, but that the flexation brings me to the 20% rating vs the 40% rating. I am not sure if the VA regional office will say a 10% increase is a marked improvement and lower my rating. Any comments will help my monkey mind on this particular subject.
