Moderator broncovet Posted July 24, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Congratulations. As mentioned, Chapter 35, and a bunch of other benefits require P and T. However, after your condition has "stabalized" (that is, you have undergone treatment for 5 years) there is a great chance you can get P and T. How long ago was your effective date? It may not be all that long for your "5 years". P and T is not automatic after 5 years, but it is difficult for VA to say, "It isnt permanent", when its gone on for 5 years. If I do something continiously for 5 years, then that usually means I will be doing something similar in another five years. There are "protections" for ratings at 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years, with the latter the most protective. There is also a protection at P and T, which is the same as the 5 year protection. Essentially, to reduce a 5 year protected rating (or P and T), the VA has to show you "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life (that is, working).
