Still 40% why?

[Rhodesia]

They closed one of my claims today and ebenefits still says I have 40% but for my disability list says I have 10% for hearing, 10% High Blood Pressure, 20% for Scars and 30% for my left knee replacement as of 08/21/2018, but it's saying I only get 40% the VA rep did the math and I should have at least been awarded 60% so does anyone know why the VA still has me at 40%. I have not received my letter yet explaining why I'm still at 40% rating. I think I found why because when you have a knee replacement scars are covered in the 30% so I think thats why they took the 20% away for scars on my knee. 

Also I called and the VA to ask the question since I had another knee replacement on the same knee I should have been awarded the temp 100% the VA says no you don't get that it's a one time deal no matter how many times you have surgery's on that same knee through the years, so they canceled my total knee replacement claim and told me I could file an appeal but she said don't waste my time on it. so I have no choice but to get another VSO to help me again.

No, it didn't change until the next Monday which was after the next payday. Back then getting someone on the phone was next to impossible. So I can't really say; however, Recently I noticed you'll get multiple varying answers from the #800 number if they don't give you the usual pre-wrote responses.

I really appreciate your replies. Means a lot. Since the ebenifits updated with closed appeal and on time as it closed yesterday and the fact my rating stayed the same I am loosing hope on that. Plus I called the VA and they said my rating was the same as before and if I got increase that my rating would show that. 

 

Im hoping that the rating will update today or so and it’s just not updated with VA or ebenifits but who knows. Usually you hear ebenifits being behind and in my case the appeal was marked closed on the actual date so.
