I just received my BBE today that explains everything that applies to my claim in relation to PTSD. It was very favorable at 70%. I do still have a couple of questions.
-how often are the evaluations or re evaluations?
The information didn't include a time frame but only stated a section about conditions that affect a veterans right to payment. It says" your award of disability compensation is subject to future adjustment upon receipt of evidence showing a change in the degree of disability". then goes onto to say other things that affect it such as going back into service, receiving retirement pay, opm pay, or being activated into the guard but nothing about the timeline of future exams. Is it just random dates that they decide?
-Do I have to get VA Mental health care or can I continue with the providers that I already have?
- My spouse is active duty and we will move frequently. What happens if we move overseas?
That's all I have for now. I did try a search for these questions but couldn't find anything. My apologies if this seems redundant. Thanks all for your help.

Its possible VA has fixed this mistake, but I have heard of other Vets getting caught by updating VAMC and "thinking" that would cover them for VA benefits, also. Since the stakes are high, I would j
