Here I am a year later and I have yet to submit 526ez for Smc S. I am attaching all the paperwork for my
inferred SMC S. Along with an email I received from my VARO after she was contacted by Allison Hickey.
(it did not help in my case) I feel like I am opening my self up for a complete review. I do not go to the VA and have
not since 2003. The State VSO that I go to is ok. However he put down an eed of 2002. I told him I only
requested eed back to Bradley vs Peake. I am all over the place with this.
I received a lot of great advice last year, but when I try to apply it with the VSO and according to the tone of
the email from the VARO, they do not agree with you all. Of course I feel that You guys here at HADIT are correct.
My big fear is again, being dragged in to have C & Ps I cannot handle it. I am 55, have been rated 90% IU, P&T
since 2002. I do not trust that the VA will honor the over 55, over 10 years........
I would like some of you to look at all the paper work I have attached and advise me how to proceed. I also would
appreciate any feedback as to my paranoia. Or should I be paranoid.
Thanks

I suggest you read the regulations and criteria for reductions, since that seems to be your worry...getting reduced. Since you have been rated over 10 years, you meet both the 5 year protection

I believe there is some error in interpretation of what constitutes a protected rating. Let me summarize. A rating is substantially protected if it remains static for 5 years or more: ( (c) Disab

Its a common "fear" tactic, used by VA employees and VSO's alike: "Dont ask for an increase or they will reduce you instead". Its 100% hogwash. They can only reduce you if you meed the criteria for
