100% Disability rating (Permanent vs. non-permanent)

[SFOB]

I received my compensation letter notifying me that I am 100% disabled, but not permanent. I must have a review 5 years from the date of rating. Why would I get a non-permanent rating when my combined disability percentage equals 310, 280 of which are service connected? I am over 50 years old at the time the rating was given. Should I (How?) pursue getting the status changed to permanent or just wait until the five year period is over.

Usually when veteran get the 100% P&T  or by the extra scheduler IU  the VA or the raters mentions this in his/her award 

This disability is of nature(meaning no room for improvement) an no future exams scheduled.

I would think it depends on the s.c. disability

But some veterans look up their disability and see what the rating criteria is and if its a P&T Rating and its not awarded to him/her  then in my opinion he should file a claim and request he/she be given P&T.

I don't think a Dr has to state his disability won't improve but can say its unlikely to improve over his life time.

The raters are trained to the selected disability's that are  of nature and   as of chronic in nature and they should be able to tell by the veteran medical evidence he presents in his/her claim.
