seejeremy Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi everyone. I have been 100% due to MDD, OSA and several other disabilities for a little over a year. Recently I put in a request for increase on the MDD because I was advised to go part time at work and to prepare for the possibility of a residential treatment program. Anyway, the VA kept my mental health rating at 70% and they made it permanent and total. This now puts me at 100% P&T! I'm still reading about things that the P&T rating brings with it. Chapter 35 is huge because I have a 20 year old son and a soon to be 17 year old daughter. Are there any other things that I should look into or be aware of with the P&T label? Thanks to everyone that answered my questions. Vync and flores97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastone Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 If the MH 70% is the SC that got you the IU, do you have other SC's, that when totaled using the VA Math = 60% or above, a possible SMC S (1) $345 could be in the offing. Does your state have a DAV 100% SC or IU Property Tax Exemption? Are your kids on CHAMPVA? Did you get your DOD card for PX privileges? I saved over $1K on 6 Disney World Tickets with the DOD Card Program. Get educated on the VA "IL" Independant Living Program Benefits and requirements. Apply online at Eben with a Vocational Rehab application. Among many other benefits, a (1) time $6500 Grant is available to upgrade your Bath or other Residential safety needs.

seejeremy Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Gastone. I actually don't know if they rated me IU. Is the only way to know that to wait on the BBE? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastone Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Check your E-Ben sight. In the Letters Section, there is a VA Letter listing all your SC's and a statement regarding your IU T & P status. A redacted copy of your PTSD/MDD and IU DBQ would be insightful. You may be 100% SC Scheduler, the MDD 70 & SA 50 gets you to 90% SC combined. What are your other SC's? Semper Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
