Upon a substantive Appeal I received in the mail today a "Supplemental" statement of the case which is an update to the (SOC) statement of the case. The DRO has granted two increases from 20% to 40% lumbar strain with degenerative disc disease and 20% to 30% cervical strain with degenerative disc disease. This was after they already made a rating decision. Someone went back and looked over my file and my C&P and corrected it to the proper percentage of disability. They even contacted the social security department to see if I was disabled from my back or neck. With this award, I am entitled to compensation based on housebound under special monthly compensation. (rated at 100% scedular) I did not even have to apply for this benifit, they went ahead and granted it to me. They wanted to know if I wanted to appeal this decision. Does any one know how much housebound pays? They also said that since there is the possibilty of improvement, this evaluation is not considered permanent and is subject to a future review examination. People keep up the fight and never stop, when you know your right!
