Oh Snap! What's This All About?

[Wolfhound88]

Digging around in Ebenefits, and downloaded the Benefits Summary Information...What's this all about??? I haven't gotten my BBE yet, so still not sure what they rated me for, but this below worries me a little bit. Is this standard verbage?

Thanks!

You are in the same boat as me. I was just medically Retired last year, I am 80%SC, yet I am scheduled for review Feb 15. It means that we have to be reviewed next year, to either continue the %, or they will try to find a way to reduce us. Just wait til you get the BBE, and then let me know what it says. Good luck to the both of us.

I have a sc for cad @ 100% due to AO have had this temp rating for over 12 years and the varo started trying to reduce me since february of this year. I am now 68 years old and have other sc disabilities that i have just put in for increases.

So far i have had one C&P examine by a NP took 10 min and now they sent a letter that states they are proposing to reduce me to 30% from 100%. I asked for a hearing at the varo a couple weeks ago. Man this is stressful, going to see my heart Dr for an evaluation and Nuclear med stress test next week. good luck to you
