Question
unknown
This is alittle out of the norm, but my situation is forcing me to search all available options. First, I'll give you the short backstory:
I have a 10% rating for PTSD, and two 0% ratings for injuries suffered on active duty. Approx. 700 days ago, I submitted a NOD to have my rating increased, and am still awaiting the decision.
After getting out the Army, my plan was to become a police officer, under the assumption that no employer can see or legally question you on a VA disability rating. I just found out that in fact, Law Enforcement departments can indeed see your ratings, and it can impair your employability in this line of work.
I recently got married, and live with my wife, my new stepdaughter, and we have a baby on the way. I'm in college on the Post 9/11 GI Bill which is helping pay my bills.
My wife is concerned about our financial situation because I will have to pay for college out of pocket later in my coursework when my benefits run out. She is also concerned that without my original career plan (Law Enforcement) that we don't have a concrete path ahead of us.
So with this being said, can I request that the VA dismiss my PTSD rating? Is there anyway to perform such a request?
Thanks for your help, guys!
