Tela Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I got my letter today and it confirmed the 100% for MDD w/Panic Disorder, 20% right femur and 10% left knee and the 2 deferred contentions.The 100% is not P&T but it didn't give a re-eval date. It also address the bilateral factor mistake they made and I'll receive $$$ for it. I didn't receive any forms for my ID or anything. Will that come later?

"I didn't receive any forms for my ID or anything" Others will chime in on that... I am curious as to how that works myself. Thank You! I only caught the mistake because of the research that I've done on this site. ( I hardly ever post but I do lurk a lot. LOL). Only then I knew what to ask them. It was an error made back in 2011 when I won an appeal for my left knee dating back to 2005. It didn't effect me until I was awarded 50% for MDD earlier this year and my rating was 60% rather than 70% because the bilateral factor wasn't include. I doubt they would have caught it had I not...

georgiapapa Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Go to Ebenefits and download and print a copy of your commissary letter which will show your 100% rating and your entitlement to commissary privileges. Take this letter along with your drivers license, social security card and any other forms of ID you have to the nearest military base (ID/CAC office). If you are married take the same identification items for your wife plus your marriage certificate. If you have children you will need their social security cards. Take original documents. I took a copy of our marriage certificate and I had to go back home and get the original. The best thing to do is to call the base ID/CAC office and schedule an appointment to get the ID cards. Also, to be on the safe side ask them exactly what you need to bring with you. They usually take the photos, have you sign the cards, laminate them and give them to you a few minutes later. Congratulations and Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
