Question

Hi brothers and sisters.

I am going to request an increase in my rateing, at this time I am rated at 60% lower back and both legs 20% each, total overall rateing of 50%. Is there a fourm requesting an increase, or do I just write a letter

requesting it? My tricare PCM and my local VA clinic Doc both prescibe me with Rx's for med's for pain and imflamation. for my service connected injury. Thank you for your help in this matter.

To all of you vet's and your families happly holidays.

Just write a letter requesting an increase. Inlclude you claim number and SSA number. Send it certified mail/return receipt. If you are rated 60% and not working you could request TDIU if one disability is at least 40%.

Did I read that post correctly? 60%, plus 20%, plus 20% equals 50%?

pete - you don't miss much either. 60 20 20 = 50 is real bad even for va.

stix musta hit the wrong keys. at any rate something's fishy....

Sorry about that, Lower back 20%, right leg 20%, left leg 20%, total rateing 60%, combined=50%.

Thanks for your replys and catching my mistake. Better get my eye's check to ha ha. Thank's agin.

    Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.

    Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg How To Post

    Post a clear title like

    Need help preparing PTSD claim or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of  ‘I have a question."

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?

    Note:

    Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
