I am currently rated at 60% combined with a claim that recently was denied twice and then went to DRO who also denied. I sent facts about my case from the CFR and asked for a hearing at the VARO in Roanoke. It was scheduled for 1/9 (tomorrow) but yesterday my VSO rep called to tell me that there was no need to come because a few days prior the VA decided to give me the max award for my fibro 40%. So, 60 + 40 = 100. Well, not to the VA . It looks like my new combined rating will be 80% (40 + 30 + 20 + 10 + 10). Does anyone know if I am eligible for PT/IU? I haven't worked in two years. Also, SSA denied me all the way up to the ALJ. I'm now trying to decide whether or not to appeal before the board.
Also, I'm not really sure why VA decided to give me my award without the hearing. I'm not complaining though, it saves me a miserable 5 hour trip to Roanoke!
