Question
desperatelyseekingsusan
Thank you to all of you on this board. The support and information has been a great help through this process.
My husband received the decision letter today. Yay.
We don't understand this:
"Your overall or combined rating is 50% effective Aug 11, 2010, increased to 100% effective Nov 9,2010, then decreased to 60% July 1, 2011. We do not add the individual percentages of each condition to determine your combined rating. We use a combined rating table that considers the effect from the most serious to the least serious conditions." ..."We granted entitlement to special monthly compensation effective Nov 9, 2010 because of your loss of use of a creative organ [prostate cancer].
Medical Description: PTSD
Percent Assigned: 50%
Effective Date: Aug 11, 2010
Do we interpret this to mean there will be 50% compensation, in total? Period? The prostate cancer is ignored, or factored in somehow by the most serious to the least serious condition table?
It has us scratching our heads. Any comments would be appriciated.
Best wishes to all,
Susan
