navydoc2 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Any "official" word yet??? Sorry....I'm a severe skeptic...I don't trust the VA as far as I can throw them. Sorry I forgot to post this. The official word came 09/01 80% service connected paying at 100% for IU. I was increased to 70 percent for depression and 10 percent for tinnitus. I was continued at 10% for left knee and denied hearing loss. I will wait awhile and get all my ducks in a row and then appeal the hearing loss denial. Thanks again for helping to all here at hadit.

Thanks again for helping to all here at hadit. navy, If you've got IU now comped at 100 %, do you really want to have the fight over the hearing loss issue. I guess my question would be - what if any additional benefit could it be to you ? carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 5, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 5, 2009 Getting P&T is probably more important than an extra 10%. P&T usually means money in some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with 100% trust me I was 40 so big difference lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
