harleyvet Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I called the 800 number this morning and was told that they are not "authorized" to give that information out over the phone. So I am still waiting.... PTSD 50% DDD 20% Tinnitus 10% R Shoulder strain 10% L&R Knee 10% GERD 10% VA Disability Rating 80% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOL BREEZE Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I called the 800 number this morning and was told that they are not "authorized" to give that information out over the phone. So I am still waiting.... Just ask "what is my current disability". I called 3 times one day after e-benifits stated case closed before someone would give me an answer. Sometimes that information is not even available for a few days, other times they won't give out the information. The trick is to play dumb, and ask a very simple question, and the unsuspecting rep will give it to you. Most of the time they want you to have the decision letter in front of you for privacy reasons before they will release any information. I hope you really get a good decision!!

harleyvet Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 So I just got home, and not letter in the mail yet. Continued trying to call the 800 number as suggested by Cool, getting the the response that they were experiencing heavy volume, sorry for the inconvenience. Waiting sucks....

carlie Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I called the 800 number this morning and was told that they are not "authorized" to give that information out over the phone. So I am still waiting.... Just hang up and call back in half an hour or so. You will most likely get a different person - perhaps even one with at least a partial brain :( Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

harleyvet Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Called the 800 # again this morning, and was told my percentage is 80%. That is a relief in itself. Now just need to see what was rated and at how much.
