Will the VA call me in for more appointments if it is P&T?

The VA won't call you for a "regularly-scheduled" exam. In the past, you may have had to go in for a re-exam to determine if your conditions/symptoms had changed. When yo are rated P&T, there are no more "Regularly-scheduled" exams to go to. That doesn't mean you can't be called if you request a new disability, such as or A&A or SMC's for example. They would then want to review the whole package. P an T doesn't mean permanent, like it won't ever change. It is possible your conditions have improved; you see medical for treatment and admit something is "better." They would then possible call you for a re-look.

I agree with BG Army
but being P&T does not keep you Immune form being called up for a C&P Exam...if your over 55 that helps and your condition is chronic and is expeted to last the rest of your life normally they leave these P&T veterans alone especially if it says on your award letter that you will not be scheduled any exams.
Only if a VA Dr writes his/her medical opinion that your service connected condition has improved , that will prompt a proposal to reduce your benefits, they will explain to you what to do if you get such a letter.
its a hassle but you can ask them to cancel this exam and let another veteran take your place that your p&t and your s.c. condition is not expeted to improve in your life time and it is chronic in nature. if your over 55 add that too. and say your s.c. condition it has not Improved...they may send you a letter for a hearing for you to solve the matter.
