Navy04 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Root, Congrats on the great news, and yes it appears to be official. As far as the Rest, if you remember I was in the same boat as you. I was Prep for Decision for almost 3 months, then back to Gathering of Evidence with 10 C&Ps scheduled at 2 different VAs. Then as that FDC completed, immediately the same day the VA opened a claim for Increase for my Scars and Tongue Damage, yet I did not open those conditions. It was in fact for a Re Eval, so talk about being confused. It sounds like your claim is going a lot smoother then you think, it is just all so overwhelming for you. Good luck and God Bless 100% PTSD 100% Back 60% Bladder Issues 50% Migraines 30% Crohn's Disease 30% R Shoulder 20% Radiculopathy, Left lower 10% Radiculopathy, Right lower 10% L Knee 10% R Knee Surgery 2005&2007 10% Asthma 10% Tinnitus 10% Damage of Cranial Nerve II 10% Scars SMC S SMC K OEF/OIF VET 100% VA P&T, Post 911 Caregiver, SSDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted June 18, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 18, 2015 Some of the nonsense may be similar to something that happened to me. Scars were rated at 0%, then surgical scars at a compensable percentage. ????? Both I and the lawyer could find no real rationale, other than possibly different RO's at the same VARO were involved. It's also possible that it's the result of "We made a mistake, but don't admit it." thinking. The whole thing gets interesting, because the older scar regulations are also involved, and might impact an EED. At the least, it might provide a bit of buffer in the event that the VA tries to reduce, or help to increase SMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
