Sample Letter For Applying For T&p Disability Rating

[flyfisher]

Does any one have a sample letter that they used to request total and permanent disability rating after they had been rated 100%.

PTSD sleep apnea and fibromyalgia length of time varies over the last ten years

I have other ones like headaches. Scars irritable bowel syndrome

The VA considers P and T for veterans who's service connected conditions are considered static.

I have seen a few PTSD issues get rated P and T.

Vets who have loss of use such as an amputation or spinal cord injury, Heart, Lung disease, are easy ones to get.

Usually the VA evaluates the disabilties when a rating is given to see if a vet is indeed eligible for p and T .

It is an ancillary benefit.

You can file for it but before you do, you have to realize this will open up your claim folder for further action by the VA.

I have actually seen vets including some on here ask for other things only to get put through the ringer with reduction proposals.

I am not telling you not to file for it but only as a caution to be prepared for the worse if you do,

Just go to your VSO and talk to him. if your last rating is less than 5 year I would not.

Ditto on jbasser and Gulfvet45.
