I received my rating a few months ago for 80%. I was medically retired from the AF for consistant back problems. Anyway, shortly after I received my rating I was bed ridden for a week and applied for a temporary 100%. In the mean time I was given some shots and no longer want to be rated at 100%. I am scheduled for a exam next week to evaluate me. Basically another C and P exam. Can I cancel my claim without it effecting the 80%. One of the lady's at the VA said if I cancel my appointments they can take away my original rating. Is that true? What should I do since I no longer want to be rated at temp 100%.
