I Am Already 100% P&t , But Should I

[Will]

Hi guys been awhile since I have been on here hope everyone is well. I have already been awarded 100% and they retroed me back till July 05. In 1990 I was assaulted and hit by a car when I was jumped by 6 individals trying to rob me and I was hurt really bad in the course of this. I had leg injury, (several leg surgeries), ear injury, and this caused me to go into major depression, and become an alcholic. In 1994 VA awarded me 10% and that was it for depression and right calf injury, and over course of next 13 year depression and alcohol worsened. I recently received a file from Navy Jag dated September 1990 that is transcript of the whole incident and stated I was minding my own business when this happended and the individuals who assaulted me had be drinking and they also prior to assaulting me was causing problems with other people and the MP's never came to check it out even though they were called. My question is should I push for more retro since I feel I should have at least been 50% in 1994. This report is very detailed and states entire incident and that 2 of these individuals were being brought up on attempted murder charges from civilian authorities do to it was in course of trying to rob me.

You only have one year to appeal a claim so getting more retro back to 1994 is not likely to happen unless you can claim CUE, which is also unlikely.

Now if your condition has worsten over the years you can request the va to reopen you claim and it is possible that you might get a higher rating,
