Your hearing and back should be fully protected on 11/1/09. They would have great difficulty reducing the hearing, now, but should they try you need to respond immediately and request a hearing. You should be safe but let us know if they notify you of any intent to reduce your rating(s). Try not to worry. I hit the 20yr mark, a few months back and had short-timers syndrome, also. Relax!!! jmo

I have read many of your posts, Philip. You are one of the most knowledgeable and helpful members. So, are you just playing with me? Or, do you know the answer and want me to verify what you already know. Or, do you want me to spend the next half hour looking up some damn PDF file? I knew I should have stayed out of this one... Please prove me wrong. If a vet has been on IU for thirty years and returns to gainful employment, then the IU will be discontinued. Do you agree? On second thought, I will look up the statute. I understand, agree, and appreciate your concern for documentation.

Best wishes, and keep up the good work.
