Dre13 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi everyone, I have not posted on here before but have been a frequent visitor while in the claims process. I cannot say thank you enough to all of you who take the time to share your experiences and offer guidance as I feel this is the reason I was able to obtain my overall rating of 90%! I am extremely grateful for this rating but feel some of my conditions were rated lower then perhaps they should have been. I am wondering if I should try for increases although I have read there is some risk involved with a potential of reduction for other conditions, or if I should just leave it be and be thankful for my current percentage? Also, I recently joined the AF reserves and am wondering if this is an automatic call for a MED board? Any feedback would be most appreciated. Considering I was always curious of people's percentage breakdowns, I have included mine for those who are curious. Now I am just awaiting the BBE or BWE as some seem to have received. painful scar status post laceration, right index finger 10% Service Connected dry eye syndrome 0% Service Connected strain, right wrist 10% Service Connected strain, thoracolumbar spine 10% Service Connected irritable bowel syndrome with diverticulosis 30% Service Connected scar status post laceration, right index finger 0% Service Connected acne 0% Service Connected chronic fatigue Not Service Connected patellofemoral syndrome right knee 0% Service Connected patellofemoral syndrome, left knee 0% Service Connected ACL osteoarthritis with strain, right shoulder (MAJOR) 10% Service Connected ACL osteoarthritis with tendonitis and labral tear, left shoulder (MINOR) 10% Service Connected hyposmia status post septoplasty 0% Service Connected hemorrhoids 0% Service Connected major depression with generalized anxiety 70% Service Connected georgiapapa and bh1981 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 19, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks for your post and I don't know of many here who did not get low balled on rating. Are you working? If you get Social Security Disability you should be considered for 100% TDIU. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre13 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Pete, although I have my difficulties I do work. I have heard of SSD and will keep that in mind should anything change. Thanks. Pete53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
