Danang,if you leave an automatic transmission in reverse the back up lamp stays on and runs down the battery.

Scotty, find out what basis or examination was used to sugggest the proposed rating reduction. Not knowing what you are SC'd for makes it a little difficult tohelp. If you can get your hands on the exam , compare the findings to the schedule for rating disabilities.

If it is an error ( Most are) you may want to file an appeal asap, then file a writ of mandamus to stop them from taking any money away until a final determination can be reached.

Also, how long have you been service connected 100 percent? There are protections for Service connection, The 20 year rule comes into play.

If you can, let us know what the letter states and why they are considering the reduction.

You must NOD a proposed reduction immediately-

the VA told you why they are proposing to reduce-

you have to combat their rationale step by step.

They can really only reduce a benefit if there has been substantial medical improvement - and they need solid medical evidence to prove that.

They can propose to reduce also with a finding of some sort of fraud.

That doesnt not happen much.

I am sure you can take the reduction letter and go over it step by step and file a NOD on it right away.

I went through this with my husband and they dropped thei idea when they got the NOD I prepared.

You MUST send in the NOD right away.

Attach any evidence at all that shows they are wrong-ie: current treatment records etc- anything at all that overcomes the reasons they gave you for this.

I want to thank all of you for your words of encouragement and ideas for maintaining that which is already mine.
