ptsd Should We File A Claim If We Are 100% Secdular?

[steve Mck]

In Dec. I was awarded an increase from 60% to 100% s.c. for PTSD, and Tinitus with a 0% for hearing loss. I have a multitude of other ailments as well. My question is should a s.c. veteran continue to file claims if they are @ 100% s.c. disabled? My particular award does not state that this is a perminent award and states that in the future it may be reviewed and could change depending upon my condition. So, should I file other claims for s.c. to build my case so that if a review of my 100% award was reduced, I would still have additional s.c. claims that would keep me at 100%? I am at 62 years old and just forced to retire due to health conditons so I am concerned that the VA could possibly reduce my s.c. award, which would place a hardship upon me and my family.

Berta,

is right on the mark... normally when I see this question someone will say no don't file you will be reviewed for all your problems if you file again..

I always say file if you think you have a valid claim... I am living proof of my own advice...

I was 80% TDIU in 1999

Today I am 100% plus K plus S award......

I have submitted 16 claims since 1999, one has been pending since 2004 on appeal the others were all

I have never been subjected to a relook on anything unless I asked for it...

In May 2009 I will reach my tenth year as T/P

so don't be afraind to file that claim!

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO GET TO K AND S SMC
