can someone explain this one to me?

i have a combined rating of 90% mostly bone and joint issues... i was granted IU last july... i ended up getting a VA loan and buying a house in a warmer climate (i moved from the PA NY border area to a little town between nashville and memphis tennessee) mostly because of my pain and inability to walk in the cold weather. My computer was damaged in the move i just got back into ebenefits yesterday and when i logged in i find that apparently in December my 90% non permanent rating was changed to P&T, i have a letter there for the commissary privileges that says no future exams are scheduled... how can i be IU and P&T? is this a mistake?

@Burg No mistake, IU can be P and T. If your condition is not expected to improve enough to lower the rating, they can award P and T even if you didn't ask for it. If you paid a funding fee for your VA home you may be able to get a refund. https://www.veteransunited.com/valoans/va-funding-fee-refund/

This is a good thing Burg!

The IU isn't P & T, it's your SC's. Some diligent VA Rater, while reviewing your C-File, probably for a possible reduction, realized that your SC's will never improve. Good for YOU, right? You should also see a No Future Exams Scheduled. That is, unless you File a New Secondary Claim.

yep it says that on the commisary letter "This total disability is considered permanent. You are not scheduled for future examinations." and under the benefits letter (the one i was trying to print to take to the DMV for my disabled plates) 

Include the information in this row	You are considered to be totally and permanently disabled due solely to your service-connected disabilities:	Yes
