Scout Swimmer Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) My MH claim just completed. I. Needed a 70% rating to get 100% schedular. I got the 70%, but they erased my established 40% TBI rating. (Listed it as part of the MA contention) I thought MH issues where rated separately. Be warned! These guys are slick.

0 Navy04 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The VA does not allow in their words "Pyramiding of Similar Conditions". For example I have PTSD, Depression, OCD, Anxiety and Insomnia and the VA groups all these as 70% SC for PTSD. Now my TBI is rated with my Migraines as 30% SC for Migraines. I have Crohn's Disease, Barrett's Disease, GERD and Ulcers and they are all grouped as Crohn's SC 30%. Sorry bud, but this is very common for the VA to allow an Increase, but to include all similar conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Scout Swimmer Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah, I'm just glad this 16 month claim is over, and I did make progress, so I really shouldn't be complaining. I'm bound to cross the finish line sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
