ptsd Sc Rating Decided

[Leap]

Hello Everyone! It has been a long time since my last post/comment. Saturday (20 Sept 08) I received the "Envelope" from the Waco RO. My initial evaluation (beginning 15 Feb 06) consisted of 30% Migraines, 30% Skin Disorders, and 10% Depression (Claimed PTSD) with a total 60%.

Since then, the headaches became worse, as did the PTSD. In June 2007, I requested a increase in benefits and they came back somewhat favorable. The VA bumped the Migraines to 50% (maximum allowed) and justified a 10% (no increase) for Depression: bringing my new SC to 70%. Which definitely qualifies for TDIU - which was filled out and mailed today.

Started College again in July 2007 under Chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation, which has been smooth sailing. Thank you to everyone who helped me out in late 2005 and 2006.

Question - - - In our profile, how do I input/edit "Branch of Service" in my profile? Easy Question

Congratulatins Leap. Job well done. Migraines are a bear to deal with.

To put your service branch, go to My controls, edit profile. The second line is branch of service. Put your curser on the box and click once. Type your branch of service and go to the bottom of the page to update.

Do you want USAF as your Branch of service?

I can assist with that.

Thanks J... I would give every penny back if these Migraines stopped... but like I said, they are almost daily. Believe it or not, the Dallas VA Medical Center is truly working with me to get them under control.

Recently got diagnosed with "Mild" TBI - - -

Yes, could you put USAF...

Thanks again!

GREAT Leap-a good example of a vet not buying what they are selling-

you got them to give higher rating on your NOD-it just goes to show that the VA will low ball us all if they can and we don't NOD it.
