Ok to be as brief as possible, I have been SC since 1986 when I fell 50 feet in a training accident. Medical discharge from Army at 40%. Fought long and hard for increases (mainly for pain) throughout the years when in October of 2008 I was diagnosed with PTSD from a VA hospital/Social worker, etc. In the mail today, I received my "Decision" from my C&P exam which was for the PTSD (March 12, 2009). Here is what it states…. SC for Posttraumatic stress disorder is granted with an evaluation of 50 percent effective June 8, 2007. An evaluation of 100 percent is assigned from March 12, 2009. It goes further, with reasons then in the last paragraph it states "We have assigned a 100% evaluation effective the date the evidence shows increase, VA exam dated 3-12-2009. Since there is a likelihood of improvement, the assigned evaluation is not considered permanent and is subject to a future review examination. So question 1: Am I considered 100% SC veteran now and can they take it away?
Here is question 2: I currently have appeals in place which are mainly listed as secondary issues due to the SC Back 20% and Ankle 20%? Today I also received a letter asking if I wanted to keep the appeal in place, and if I did I could submit more evidence. I also received two phone calls (they left messages) asking if I still needed the copies of the records I had requested. (since being on this site I learned to request copies) thanks so much. I would appreciate any advise as now it appears I will be getting 100% but not sure I am still in a war???????????
