marine0816 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Just peeked on Ebenifits and it says I'm 90%, I'm thankful and greatful. Better late than never I guess.. It has been a long battle for this devil dog.. My medical records were either lost or not documented. So I thought my injuries couldn't be proven, so I didnt bother filing until these past months when I found this forum. With helpful information from jlrith, meghp0405, carlie, berta and everyone else.. I feel like my injuries can now be treated and respected.. Thank you everyone 100%---> I have to wait for my brown envelope but it looks like they screwed my rating.

Navy04 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The VA will not allow Pyramiding of similar conditions. My Crohn's, Barretts and GERD are all combined as 30%, even though each is treated separately. I have 5 different Mental Conditions and all are under PTSD. Being that your issues are related to Frost Bite, than they would follow under one rating. Good luck and congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyWife Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Others on here have said you can go to Ebenefits and pretend to start a new claim. At about the 10th page or thereabouts, it should tell you what your current ratings are for each individual rating. Beware the 4.25 is the combined ratings table. It adds up your issues using VA math, not regular addition. It takes A LOT to get from 90% to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
