Yesterday the VA conducted a review of my records for compensation in Tucson with myself not present. I also have a claim in for IU, and the employer just faxed the employment letter back)e-mailed me a copy which I faxed as well) Haven't worked since last Jan, and that was for 2 hours. I officially quit 2 weeks ago, all of this was properly indicated. And, I was recently accepted into Voc Rehab -independent living. Counselor said I no longer qualify for any other program as I am now classified as a severe disabled Vet. I am service connected at 80%. With these notes in recent claims comp exams, and recent advents what would be by chances of getting the 100%?

----------------------
Does the Veteran's cervical spine (neck) condition impact on his or her
ability to work?
[X] Yes [ ] No
a. Does the Veteran have IVDS of the cervical spine?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If the Veteran has functional loss, functional impairment and/or
additional limitation of ROM of the cervical spine (neck) after
repetitive
use, indicate the contributing factors of disability below:
[X] Less movement than normal
[X] Pain on movement
Does the Veteran have any functional loss and/or functional impairment of
the cervical spine (neck)?
[X] Yes [ ] No
MITCHELL FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR LEFT FOOT
Can pain, weakness, fatigability, or incoordination significantly limit
functional ability either during flare-ups or when the joint is used
repeatedly over a period of time?
[X ] Yes
MITCHELL FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR RIGHT FOOT
Can pain, weakness, fatigability, or in-coordination significantly limit
functional ability either during flare-ups or when the joint is used
repeatedly over a period of time?
[X ] Yes
it is not possible without resorting to mere speculation to
estimate either loss of ROM or describe loss of function, because there
is no conceptual or empirical basis for making such a determination
without directly observing function under these conditions
**Statement of Individual Unemployability
Cannot stand/walk continuously >30 minutes at a time. Otherwise
capable
of other sedentary functional activities
