Question
Cherie33
Ok...As some of you already know. The VA propsed to decrease my rating. I requested a "Pre-Determination" hearing and was granted that. Well, I also mentioned that if my additional evidence wasn't enough that I would still like to attend the hearing, however if it was strong enogh, that I wanted them to make a decision based on the evidence. To make a long story short. I spoke with my DAV Rep and explained the situation, (I really didn't want to drive to St. Pete, if it really wasn't necessary) so he (DAV Rep) told me that he would talk with the DRO and call me on the next day to let me know what was said. Well, I got the phone call and he said "They have agreed to withdraw their proposal to decrease my rate, however the DAV Rep told me how much the DRO scurmmed at the notion of leaving my disability rating (Major Depressive Disorder, with Psychotic Features currently rated at 50%) as it was. Now, the whole purpose of me submitting a cliam was to have my rate increased, now I am back at the same point that I started with. At this point though, I am requesting my IBS (currently rated at 10%) be increased and I am waiting to talk to my DAV Rep regarding a letter I received to appeal the VA's decision where they wanted to leave my IBS as 10%). Does anyone have any suggestions or comments.
Thanks,
Cherie33 B)
