Question
USNIPER07
2010 - Discharge
40% memory problems, status post head injury
30% Major depressive disorder with history of Insomnia
2011 added seizure disorder to memory problems, status post head injury. (remained at 40%)
2012 I had a diagnosis of seizures because they showed up on two sleep studies and one EEG. I did not have a "frequency" to report because they were nocturnal seizures. They added seizures 10% only because I was prescribed medication for seizures.
2015 had a C&P for possible PTSD. PTSD denied and they basically increased my Major Depressive Disorder to 70% but dropped off the memory problems, post status head injury. They explained that they combined them.
What is your thoughts on me being able to challenge this now that it is years later? I really thought that my depression had increased to 70% and TBI remained at 40%. It reads that way on ebenefits and my 90% rating did not change.

To challenge a decision "years later" you have at least 3 choices: 1. Challenge the decision using the "CUE" standard of review. This may work, if the errors in the decision rise to the Cue sta

Its "a little hard" to get 100 percent on "invisible" disabilities while you are still working. One example of an "invisible" disability is depression/PTSD, since VA does not make us wear Tshirts tha
