ptsd Applied For Iu And Increase For Ptsd On Ebenefits

[papieboni]

Hi there I was wondering if someone can help me. Today I discovered that my overall rating was increased from 80% to 90%. They increased my PTSD rating from 50% to 70%. I also requested for Individual Unemployability but I do not see a rating for it on ebenefits. Ebenefits shows the increase in the PTSD rating and the rate but nothing about IU for or against. Is this normally done by US mail? or should I assume the IU was denied since online at ebenefits its showing the rate of 90% and the pay at 90%?? thanks in advance!

Look at your letters on ebenefits and it will say if you were granted IU. I assume you have not received your BBE yet. The letters section will reflect commissary privliges if you were granted IU as well.

Congratulations on your award!!

All the best..

No I havent received the BBE, whatever that means?, I am assuming its the letter from the VA explaining their decision? As far as ebenefits go and the letters on ebenefits, it shows 90% and gives the pay rate nothing about IU. under the disability section, it shows the rating for each disability but IU is not there nor is it rated for anything, should I assume that IU was denied?

BBE is big brown envelope I believe. The packet you'll receive describing in detail your entire case.

Don't assume IU was denied, it may have been deferred. The Big Brown Envelope will explain your decision and then you can go from there..

All the best!!

ok thanks guys, but if it was deferred what does that mean?

If it was deferred it means they need more evidence to make a decision. Basically most likely they will call and schedule you for a C&P on whichever issues they believe they could not decide with the evidence they had at hand. Thats what they just did with two of my claims
