I recieved my rating letter today. I was rated at 30 %. Its a start I guess. I was MEB'ed prior to my retirement with a Macroprolactonoma, a large tumor on my pituitary gland. This thing did some major damage and is inoperable due to its location to the artery going to my brain and the optic nerves. I got SC but 0 comp for it. It partially destroyed the pituitary and the surrounding sinus bone causing migranes, frequent sinus infections, hormonal deficiencies, and a laundry list of other good stuff. All of these were SC but all were 0 compensated. I dont understand that process. I recieved the comp for tinitus and two issues that were discovered during my retirement physical (lumbar arthritis and COPD..like I needed more good news!). Overall there were 14 items listed as SC but only 3 were rated more than 0. I was never one to complain and did more than my share of sucking it up and pressing on but I feel Ive been shorted a bit in the rating. I have great records in my possession to include all my MRI's, MRA's, transcripts, and Med Records. I just need some direction to get started. Do I have a fair chance? Thanks for the chance to vent a bit.
