request the 100%schedule Rating From combined IU Rating?

[Buck52]

 Calling All Hands on Deck,

Anyone know what the VA Form # is to request the 100% scheduler rating be given & the IU to be moot?

As I understand  when a veteran is rated for combined IU/with P&T and no future exams schedule and his S.C. Disability is of nature not expected to improve in his life time.

The Criteria is,a when veteran has a combined scheduler IU Rating & the veteran has another separate rating of 70% or higher   he can request the 100% scheduler rating....the R.O, is supposed to do this at the time of the separate rating but the fail to do this and the Veteran don't know he can request the IU to be MOOT and given a 100% schedule rating.

This would change things for the veteran  if he was/is able to do some kind of work he could add to his family's income.  & Not be worried about for getting to send in the aggravating 21-4140-1  Every freaking Year.

Anyone know the FORM#?  or more information on this?

asknod, broncovet, Ms berta, j basser, Gastone, Vync, Ms Tbird???  & other knowledgeable members.   please feel free to chime in here.

 

Thanks

Buck

It references the exact place in the m21, which is online and dated for the change.

I don't know how much more official it can get. The '21 is the rulebook for VA employees- they would get a memo, vsos probably got something, too, but I wouldn't expect them.to send me anything about it. There are changes to the m21 All the time that they don't notify us about-because we aren't VA employees.

@brokensoldier244th, the rep from the Nashville Regional office told me the same thing yesterday. In paraphrasing, she said "We always get these changes first, and it takes time to get the word out to veterans.."

I've learned over the years to stay ahead of the VA, and document everything.

Thanks to knowledgeable veterans like yourself brokensoldier244, life for us veterans is made a little easier.

Yes the M21, the email from the VA, and the call to my LOCAL VA yesterday is enough "proof" for me to save time and effort from messing with the 21-4140, and frees up valuable time to help other veterans.
