I was diagnosed with depression/ Anxiety and OAB/ enlarged prostate with a benign polyp removed in 2010 and another in 2011. I currently take Zoloft, colonzapham, Buprohin, Lunesta, Vesicare and must now wear adult underwear... The VA stated because these two claims are NOT permanent in nature I will be scheduled for another C and P exam in the future, that was stated in Feb 2011 when I received my rating. I was awarded 50% for depression and 40% for benign prostatic hypertrophy, they awarded me this before I was put on any meds or had to wear adult underwear. I see a Psych doc once a month and a urologist once a month. To your knowledge have there ever been a time when VA reduced someones claim after being put on meds or having to wear adult undies? what is the likely hood I will be awarded P and T if I file, I haven't worked in almost two years.

Don't give up is correct! In your shoes, I'd be filing for TDIU!

Based on what you posted, no. "Being unable to attend to the wants of nature" is one of the critera for Aid and Attendance, which is a level above 100%.

I would go ahead and apply for the max benefits. I dont think you have anything to lose, assuming, of course, you did not lie to get any of the benefits you have.

Go for it.
