In the month of October 06 I received a letter from the VA stating that I was NOW 100%P&T ( Unemployability ), I had been and continue to be paid ( as of Dec.,06 ) at the 100% level due to IU ( had not been awarded P&T status until the above OCT date ). In the month of Nov. 06 I received form VAF 21-4140 EMPLOYMENT QUESTIONNAIRE. I was expecting it, as I had seen mention of it here on HADIT. I also knew it was inportant and needed to be responded to. I completed it and sent it back to them certified-return reciept. ( They got it on the 28th of Nov. ). As a back up, I went to my DAV service officer, asked him to put copy of completed form in my file ( same day that I mailed ). He agreed to do so, but felt like it was a good ide to send another completed form ( 21-4140 ) to the VA through their office. I felt like it can't hurt to have back-up, so agreed with him and he sent them a completed copy also. On Dec. 5th, 06, I received a letter from my service office showing that they had sent form as agreed. Here is what I'am so FREAKED out over. In thie letter to the VA in which they forwarded the duplicate completed form they added the following in the body of the cover letter to VA " Please take action to consider the following: Entitlement to increased rating based on Individual unemployability. It is requested that all appropriate development, to include conducting any necessaryVA examination(s), be completed as soon as posible ". I'am already 100%P&T for IU--I do not want to open up the case again. I went to my DAV S.O. the day I got it ( Dec. 15, 06 ). He said not to worry, that the VA would see it was ment to provide the completed questionnaire. OK--I left but did not feel right ( SO has been very good up to this point ). TODAY ( DEC. 18, 06 ), I receive a form letter from the VA ( we all know this one ) " We have received your application for benefits. It is our sincere desire to decide your case promptly ....yady, yada, yada ". It now appears that what I thought would happen, has---VA thinks I'am applying for some ( or more disability ), and that I'am willing to go through the process again. I don't want to go through the process again-- Going nuts thinking about how this might impact my award--Am I being to paranoid, or what action should I take.
