Recieving 20% for HTN, suffered a stroke 8 weeks ago, had several since TIA's which now they tell me I having Complex's Mingraine which leaves paralysis on my right side up to 3 hours at a time. Any ideas on the rating on this? Now 8 weeks after the stroke I vary from 50%-90% as for recovery. When my body stresses I'm at the worst. Going to the VA tomorrow. Have not been to work in over 8 weeks, almost out of leave.Also been in and out of the hospital those 8 weeks.

Thanks for the reply. I've haven't been seen by the VA since my rating, just by the Naval Hospital through tricare prime. The Base is much closer for me, just 4 miles. I have some on and off numbness on my arm through out the day and slur here and there too. I'm on sick leave now, soon to run out. With these on going TIA's it's hard to go to work. The TIA's seem to occur around a week a part. They don't want you at work like that! They think the stroke has cause me to have the complex migraine which to me is worst cause, with that, there's no way I could do my job!

I'm retired from the USMC and also recieving 20% va hypertension/some skin problem. Will, two months ago I had a 2 TIA's which lead up to an acute stroke and since had 5 more TIA's. All in all I've been in and out of the hospital the past 8 weeks. Now thier saying I'm getting complex migraines so bad that my right side becomes weak like a stroke at it last up to 2 -3 hours at a time. Any idea's on the va ratings on this? And advice? I just started to get my medical records in order and will be visiting the San Diegq DAV office this week. I have recovered from the stroke but not 100%. I'm a Letter Carrier for USPS and so for un able to carry mail.
