0 Moderator broncovet Posted May 23, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sure, but that may be just as good for you. Any form of SC (direct, presumptive, secondary) pays as well. When you go to the grocery store, they wont say, "Wait..is the money you are paying for this milk "Direct" compensation or "secondary"? The law requires Va to consider "all forms" of comp. Otherwise, they could just ignore the presumptive if you did not know about it and ask for it. They have to give it to you anyway, even if you dont know what "presumptive", "secondary", or "direct" even means. jfrei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jfrei Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Thank you just confirmed with case management my C&P is in as direct service connected. By technically Chronic Adjustment disorder is another mental issue which I've already have residuals of a TBI and PTSD at 70%... she said it might increase it but not counting my sheep in my sheepless night. They said the same was it was at 70 before they threw in the PTSD...She said she would find out and to call on Friday seriously these guys are a blessing to us all and there's only 3 people there in this office. Sad how 3 people can help us so much at the VA yet the rest delay our claims... I'm still confused with how my TBI is a MH issue..

I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
