rpowell01 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The P&T is a bug, you need 100% to have P&T.... Congrats on the 70%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The thing I was wondering is what to do next? I have been getting the VA pension since 2011 which would mean I am P&T so shouldn't I be rated at 100% and P&T and not 70%? No, not necessarily. For 100 % + P&T status - only SC'd conditions are considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I looked again on e-bennies and went the "file new claim route". I seen that the 70% is for PTSD but all the conditions that were labeled "new , reopen & 2ndary" are shown as not-service connected. I have proof that they are service connected since I have a C&P exam from 2006 that has a diagnosis of " neutropenia and pes plantus" which I also sent the VA. Funny thing is the VA didn't give me an exam for the new conditions. A diagnosis is only one step. Until a condition is rated as SC by the VA - it is not really SC'd. In 2006 the C&P examiner may have opined a diagnosis but were these two adjudicated as SC'd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
