cooter Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Really? I didn't realize this. So the bottom line is, if your 55+ and granted 100% schedular or TDIU, then you automatic qualify, as long as you ask for it. Coot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 29, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 29, 2012 I do know that if you are 55 and over and have been TDIU or 100% for five years and your disabilites are considered static you are not supposed to get any more exams for those disabilites. The VA considers you as being P&T. It is sort of an added protection for your rating. The only perfect one is 20 years at a rating as 100%, for instance. This is the great thing about winning a CUE. The date you win your CUE becomes your new effective date. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coot I don't know seems like to different subjects..... even if there are no reexams scheduled the va could still say that there is a possibility of inprovement.. and consider this.. ask for P/T and guess what another C/P exam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
