Question
vet70
First let me start by saying I am new to this site and not sure if I am posting this in the right forum. Please let me know. Now the question. When I returned from Vietnam as a combat vet and was honorably discharged. I entered back into civilian life and immediatly started experiencing systems of ptsd, I will spare everyone all the details of what is associated with ptsd because I think everyone here already knows. Anyway I applied for and was granted 30% sc for "depressive nerousis", not sure if that is spelled right. At the time "1971" they didnt have the "ptsd" label. Now fast fwd to the year 2000. I retired medically from the USPS for a back condition. I started having problems with ptsd again. I tried to suppress it but it just got worse until last year my wife said I should apply for an increase with VA. I did and was seen by phycologist and within 6 months was awarded 100% sc p&t with no future exams required. They also changed my condition from depressive neorosis to ptsd. Ok now the question. Since I have this new rating do I have to go through this 20 year waiting thing again to make sure they "VA" wont reduce or mess with it or is it locked in because it is the same condition with just an increase?
