Thank you all for your input. I got the big envelope in the mail today, thought it was my rating, but it was a letter stating that my Rating Decision dated January 28, 2009 deferred the issue of Individual Unemployablility. Of course, I was confused because I have not received the rating as of yet. My current rating is 20%. I took a shot and called the 800#. I spoke the nicest person EVER, that I have spoke to on the 800 line. I was rated 80% total. Needless to say, I finally feel some releif. It has been almost 3 years. I know many of you have been at it so much longer, but we all know what the wait can feel like...for me it has been a nightmare...especailly having to prove the things that did happen to me. Thankfully I do have some buddies that are still Active duty that helped me out with proof. Now when the retro check actually hits the bank.....it will really have sunk in.
