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.

File away but be aware that every thime you file a new claim or ask for additional rating or increase the VA looks at the whole enchilada. I guess I mean that you can loose a 100%. I have filed 3 times after 100% with partial success.

Good Luck

PS if you have Social Security or any other disability I would consider it almost 100% safe to file.

Also the more that you are service connected for the better change your spouse will have to get DIC if you pass prematurely or before 10 years at 100%.

Berta,

You wrote: "I have seen many claims at the BVA where the veteran died without 10 years of 100% SC P & T in effect...."

Does the vet have to have 10 years of 100% with P&T for the spouse to get DIC or if he has 10 years of 100% without P&T is she still eligible?

Thanks,

DIC = Dependents Indemnity Compensation, the benefits for your heirs should you pass from a service connected condition, others will chirp in with more info for you soon.
