I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question, feel free to move this post. I am in an odd situation with the VA Disability. I am rated 70% for Depression since Feb 2006 with IU to 100% since Feb 2008 after worker rehab failed and deemed my condition makes me unemployable. I have been on SSDI for Depression since June 2007. I recently went to try to get a homestead and vehicle tax exemption and I was denied stating I wasn't listed as permanent so they said to contact the VA to see if it was since I have been out of work since my discharge in Feb 2006. I contacted the local VA rep they sent me to DAV who sent me to a Person at the regional VA office about P&T, they were public affairs or some title like that. They said that I was supposed yo have a C&P appointment a few years ago in 2011, but they never scheduled me and she has no idea why they didn't. She said that for the Tax purposes I needed to be P&T. She then said I can try for P&T, but I could have my rating decreased since I have been listed as temporary all these past 7 years or I can go with option 2 and not say anything and just put up with collecting 100% I have been. She then said if I went the P&T route to have the VA doctor I'm seeing note everything is still occuring from my letter from the first and only C&P I've had, but I still may be reduced. It is confusing since I haven't had any straight answers if I'm eligible for P&T or why C&P never scheduled me the follow up. Is this a normal situation and I'm not sure what to do. I was planning on moving on my own since I don't like living with people, but knowing my income is in limbo and no straight answers my hands are tied. Should I try for P&T since I have been beeing treated for so long with no improvement according to my doctor?
