0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted April 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2016 They can rate 0% but still service-connected . The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching. --17 different possible sources, all lacking verifiable attribution.

0 Navy04 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 As stated above, 0% SC is a Start. Means that you can seek treatment thru the VA for it, and you can always submit a new claim for an increase if it gets worse.

0 Meddac Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If the rating is less than a year old you also have the option of asking for a Reconsideration or filing a NOD (Notice of Disagreement) against the evaluation that they awarded (0%). If it has been over a year get ahold of a rating schedule for the TBI and determine whether or not your symptoms justify a higher percentage. Then file for an increase. 0% really only entitles you to treatment at the VA for said condition like the others have stated. It's a start, but it's not necessarily the end.

0 121212 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 thanks for all the help, but the VA stated in the claim that it was 0% not service connected, it was sent in for a reconderation and came back 0% not service connected . I was told if you get 0% it is service connected. does anyone know if you can get 0% not service connected? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Meddac Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Sorry, I guess I didn't read it all correctly in the original post. 0% not service connected would apply towards Pension purposes (even if you didn't apply for Pension) as far as the rating is concerned, and the condition would NOT be considered as service connected.
