Chap 35 Dependent Health Benefits

[tssnave]

If you are 100% P&T is your VA c-file opened again for review at the VARO when you apply for:

1. your spouse's Chap 35 Dependent Health Benefits?

2. the premium waived life insurance?

3. dental care?

After reading how a vet's file is re-opened if they move from their home state I wonder what other actions cause the VA (or give them an excuse) to re-open your VA c-file?

Thanks,

TSS I noticed you didn't get a response on this question. Its a good question in fact, I believe what you are asking is if your compensation file comes under review if you ask for benefits associated with your rating of 100% P&T (oh yeah!good for you!).

I don't see a reason that your rating claim should be bothered at all if you put in for benefits that are inplace for the asking now that you have p&t. Its my understanding that unless there is something medically flagging or a exam review date come up, thats usually when your rated condition is up for checks&balances. At this time I can't recant the regulation on this, but I think you are double checking the double checkers as a protective measure for your hard earned benefits.

Best to ya, cg

Like CG, I think not.

I mean, after all, they just got through spending a lot of time and effort attempting to keep you from drawing the benefits that are rightly yours (some folks may see it differently, but, I calls 'em lak I sees 'em).

So, I think it would be kinda hard for them to justify "opening" your claim again, just because you are "seeking" what has, in essence, already been "awarded" you.

P.S. I certainly have trouble saying things like "awarded" when referring to claims that have been decided in your favor. It makes it sound like you "won" the freakin Lottery! Which is supposed to make you feel "grateful" that you "won" I suppose. B! S!

Sorry, just some of my Dysthymia with "heightened" MDD with Bi-Polar Tendencies KICKIN IN...!
