Do I Stand A Chance?

Question

Hello,

I retired about 7 month ago from the Army. I served for 20 years. I joined right out of high school. After a C&P my rating went from 30% for other stuff to 100% for PTSD. I have not worked since I retired. In my paperwork form VA the Doctor states " there is evidence of total occupation and social impairment due to symtoms as yada yada yada". It also states entitlement to IU is a moot point.

I am new to all of this and not sure what I should do.

Should I submitt for SSDI?

Thank you for any in point

Yes =because once you get the P & T status the spouse and any dependent children will be eligible for Chapter 35 (DEA)

DEA paid for almost the entire last half of my degree from AMU.

Over 8 thousand bucks at least-

P & T status also gives them CHAMPVA eligibility but I assume they have Tricare already and it is almost the same thing.

Ok so now I get a letter from the DAV stateing they reviewed the most recent VA decision concerning my cliam for benifits and the VA has taken the following actions.

A clear and unmistable error is found in the evaluation of PTSD and dysthymia and an evaluation of 100% is assigned.

Basic eligibility to DEA is astablished.

As of today I didnt get anything from the VA so I called they state they are working a letter to be sent to me. My 100% has not changed but the lady stated that she saw something about the DEA and that normally if you get DEA you will get permanent and total.

What exactly is permanent and total?

So that is it that it they are saying Im done and cant go to work any more?

Thanks for any information.
