Question
HvyGns38
Good day everyone,
As some of you may have read from my earlier posts, I mailed an NOD for meniere's disease and a letter for an extra schedular rating due to material interference with employment to the VA in early Nov.
The VA is sending me a letter re-opening ALL of my claims except for the PTSD because I just had an exam in Dec of 2009. Also, they indicate in their letter that they are working on my IU claim. I never submitted a claim for IU. Is this normal because I am at 90% and asked for an extra schedular rating (lawyer told me to do this)? I told the 1-800 # person who faxed me the letter I am about to get in the mail that I did not file for IU just the extra schedular rating and he said that all I needed to do was call them back and cancel the IU claim. Is this true, also?
I am going to be scheduled for a QTC exam in the future for "VA general medical examination" and a "VA Organs of Sense Audio Examination". What exactly is a the "general medical exam?" Is it just a physical or are they just looking for what I have claimed in the past?
I have no problem with being re-examined because my hearing loss is completely gone in my right ear and my knee is not getting better after 5 surgeries. And, even though I am not being re-xamined for PTSD, my Dr. has prescribed additional medications to control my episodes.
Sorry for all the questions, but I am confused and nervous about what is coming. I hope I just did not screw myself by requesting the extra schedular rating.
Here is a run down of what I am compensated for:
PTSD = 70%
Right knee
arthritis post
ACL reconstruction
with lateral meniscectomy = 50%
Right ear hearing loss = 10%
Tinnitus = 10%
Thank you so much in advance for everyone's help and guidance.
