ptsd Tbi Ptsd Question

[Pookie]

Hi all, I was rated under the old system for my TBI, they called it brain syndrom. I was rated at 50%. I have been diagnosed for PTSD and also I get severe headaches. I have requested a new sc for PTSD, and headaches, which were included in my old rating. I am nervous. Is my older rating preserved at 50% if they rate my TBI and PTSD under the new law? I am currently 80% total however put in for an increase today.

Thanks

So confused~

Pookie,

Prior to answering your question, please call the 1-800 VA number and ask what

Diagnostic Codes you are rated under - what percentage for each one and the effective date of each one.

You will probably have to wait until Monday to do this.
