Re-Rating Request Approved!

Question

Hello everyone. I have been trying to find a topic that answers my question but have had no luck. I see how helpful people are in this forum and were sure you could answer this question.

I was rated at 40% in 2003 for:

20% Left ankle fracture

10% Migraine headaches (car accident)

10% Dysthemic disorder (depression)

In March I decided to ask for a second opinion because my undiagnosed PTSD from a suicide attempt was never rated properly and my anxiety was interfering with my daily life. So, the VRO sent in a request to have my 10% dysthemis disorder increased. Well, I got my rating decision today.

On the letter they have given me a 50% increase for my Dysthemic disorder with PTSD. Is this in ADDITION to the 20% for my ankle and 10% for migraines? Therefore i will be receiving a total of 90% rating?

It might seem like a dumb question but the front page of my rating paper only shows a monthly payment for 1,064.00... and if i am really at 90% i should be getting about 1764 a month...

Thanks for the help!!!

I am 28 years old and am going to a 4 year college through Voc Rehab. I do plan on rejoining the workforce at some point in the future. IF I am unable to work due to my disability after I have completed my training than I will continue to collect SSDI. While I am trying to get new skills I am able to collect SSDI and TDIU as my disability is the reason I can no longer work in my previous capacity. I have a meeting with SSI this morning to submit my medical release and other documents.
