Question
Seabee64
Hello, I am new to posting but have been following Hadit for a while and appreciate all the advice from the members here. I am in a quandry. I am currently rated at 80% (20, 10, 10, 10, 70). I was rated at 40% for a neck injury. I just recieved the white envelope taking me from 40 to 80 percent for PTSD, depressive disorder and cognitive disorder. They deferred on the TBI and migraines for a medical opinion. The TBI is documented by neurologist and spect scans as well as my being on a TBI study group at the VA. Is covering me under PTSD for a cognitive disorder the same thing as the cognitive problems that stem from my TBI? I am currently still working only because I have been at my job for 23 years and am in a position where I deligate. I have been demoted and am in serious danger of loosing my job in short order due to so many things that I am sure you are all aware of. I feel like they might would have rated me higher if I hadn't of been still working. I know right, 70% for PTSD right off the bat is alright but it only took me four years to get it! So, why would they defer the TBI and migraines for a medical opinion.
Thanks y'all,
