Shellback- Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes you need to ask to add your dependents. It will not be quick. For the info of those who responded about 40% PTSD. PTSD is rated at 30%, 50%, 70% and 100%. The original 10% was probably for another disability. I submitted all required forms for dependants-and I lucked out on My secondary claim for other knee and think My Nso filed entitlement for Me on it-She must be really busy in Waco because it is next to impossible to contact Her to verify the fact -I just received a letter a week ago stating (entitlement sought for secondary knee condition related to service connected knee)- and that was it- I have some (wicked) back problems also that could be partially related to My strange gate when I walk over the last 21 years since messing up My knee- sometimes pinching My siatic nerve down in the lower back area that swells and virtually paralyze Me for a week- I receive pain meds for back pain at the VA- it never dawned on Me that My knees could be aggravating this condition until I read a case about virtually the same thing?

Shellback- Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Sorry if My open claims and what had already been decided made no sense-here it goes-I did receive 30% PTSD- continued 10% L Knee- deferred Tinnutis- ebenifits has it all wrong on My open claims-but this is the outcome so far- NSO put in for secondary R Knee for Me 2 weeks ago like i had thought My Vet center Guy did 13 months ago.
