tdiu Is 100% P&t Permanent? Or..............

[dav_marine72]

Can the VA ever take away my 100% TDIU P&T?

I think that the VA has to continue to pay at the 100% rate as long as a Veteran opposes the reduction and timely responds to all the VA asks for including the paperwork for NOD ect.

Its still a dern good idea to have a rainy day fund somewhere.

I still say that its pretty rare for VA to reduce a rating but it can happen and I understand that when President Reagan was in control a lot of Veterans were reduced. That is an unsubstantiated rumor but I hear it many times.

Thanks everyone. I actually have my back, chronic right testicle pain, right and left foot coming back from the U.S. court as a remand. I expect to be 100% schedule when all is done in addition to TDIU. I am right there with you I will start a government screw with me account. Believe me I'd become a major thorn for these guys if they try. I have studied VA law for 10 years and plan to stay abreast to the field. I want to try and see if I can volunteer for a service organizations doing research from home. If I'm on my bed with heat, an oxi, a roxi, an ativan, buspar, and zoloft I tend to think better. LOL. Now that I am medically retiring me speak no English.

It's always good to have money in savings anyway since emergencies do come up time to time. Seems like everytime going gets good for me something crazy happens and I have to shell out money whether it be car problems or relatives asking to borrow money.

I am a big believer in a rainy day fund. Many vets get retro and go out and buy the big truck or Harley. They want to feel better and this is the American way. 30,000 bucks sitting in a special account can buy a lot of IMO's. It can also give you some peace of mind while you wait if the VA pulls a fast one. If you are debt free and have a nice pile of money you can out last all these geeks who want to make you suffer. Just think of all the accident victims who have to take a low settlement because they are desparate for money to pay bills. There are companies that buy up annuites and settlements at 20 cents on the dollar because some poor stiff has to sell their soul to pay a mortgage. Capitalism works if you have money to work for you instead of you busting your ass. It is a beautiful system if you have money to invest.

Dont become a tight wad hermit either. Live comfortable but be cautious and keep some aside for the rainy days.
