Static and non-static ratings

[DevilDog12]

If you have disabilty ratings that add up to 100% and they are static, and then you have one future exam scheduled for another disability, but it doesn't change your 100% rating whether that rating changes or not, can you still be rated P&T?

[GuaymasJim]

The quick answer is yes on the P&T, but without more information it's impossible to say. You list 90% on your bio, so are you 100% TDIU?  There are additional benefits for having more ratings in addition to the conditions used for any type of 100%, but there are some straight forward qualifications for them.  Do a search for SMC here on hadit or Google the universe.

Semper Fi!

I'm 90% (93 total), and just had 3 favorable C&P exams.  Expecting at least 20% for one, and 10% for the other 2, which would put me at 96 total.  So even when I minus the 20% for the non-static disability, it still puts me at 95 total.  No, I am not TDIU, but schedular.

Static ratings are not likely to be looked at again from a reexamination view point.

All of my sc conditions are listed as static. Most have been static for more than ten years. I am 67 years old with minimal education. I have three 100% P&T schedular disabilities and numerous lesser %  disabilities. Lately, I filed for an increase for diabetes due to restricted and regulation of my activities. When the C&P was scheduled it was for my static Diabetes and for my static kidney disease, and for PN to include loss of use of two limbs and for my static 0% Chloracne. So, never say never! Why does VA insist on wasting my time and their resources. At least I drew my travel pay and the wife and I ate out for a change.

The rater that asked for those reexaminations needs to read the CFR as it pertains to reductions.

Jamescripps2, 

Why did you file for an increase for diabetes when you have three 100% P&T ratings?

 

[jamescripps2]

Why not file? I filed for the increase because I had the evidence to support an increase based upon the fact that the diabetes was limiting my activity level, and that constitutes a 40% rating. I went for the Maximum rating of R-2 and I did achieve that goal.
