tdiu P&t, Tdiu, 80% Csc, Still Scheduled For C&p?

[JohnO]

Am I exempt from future C&P exams if I'm P&T? I am P&T, 80% SC, and TDIU. I just had one C&P yesterday and am scheduled for another in one month.

I asked my VSO about the exam and he said the VA was just getting a benchmark on my health, tracking my disabilities for future reference.

I received a letter today from DVA regional thanking me for my service. The letter noted my claim #, dates served and honorable discharge, and gave my VA information.

Sevice-connected: Yes

Combined service-connected evaluation is: 80%

Effective date of last change: 1 Dec 2011

Current monthly award: $2,924.00

Am being paid 100% because I'm unemployable: Yes

I am considered to be totally and permanently disabled due to service-connected disabilities: Yes

I just had a C&P exam yesterday for sleep apnea possibly secondary to CAD. Also, the exam covered DMII. I had a C&P for DMII in 2010.

You claim file was still open because of the SA that you filed for. As along as you have the open claim, the VA can and in most cases will look at all other issues in your file.

Even with the T&P on your claim as long as you are going after something else everything is fair game. This is why I tell veteran to close out ALL pending issues once they get T&P.

I agree that his claim was still active, I do not agree that the va is going to look at his other issues again, simply because he was just rated. Frankly, anytime a veteran request T/P he is subject to a total re-look of all his issues, and in some cases he has to attend another c/p exam. Pending issues by themself really have nothing to do with requesting a P/T status.
