Requesting 100% P&T

[ILSoldier]

Hey Everyone, it has been a while since I last wrote on this forum.

I have a question around requesting 100% P&T. So here is the gist of the situation that I am in. Last year I was rated 100% after a long drawn out fight with the VA. The reason I finally got to 100% was due to a flare up with my left knee which put me over the top with a future exam in 2020.

Today I received a 50% rating for Migraines. My migraine rating went from 30% to 50% with no scheduled exams. After using the disability calculator (to see where I am at) I realized that Even if they downgraded my knee rating to 0% I would still be rated at 100%. I have no scheduled future exams for anything  but my knee.

Being said, What should I Do? Should I request P&T and do you all think I have a chance of success? If so, how do I go about doing that. Should I go through the DAV?

Usually when I've seen p and t granted it was for static conditions that you've had for a long time with no changes. I guess it depends on how long you've had your various conditions. Your file a claim for it just like any other, in my experience.

There is no harm in requesting P&T.  It will probably trigger several C&P's.  I am just curious why you want to apply for P&T though.  You sound like you will get P&T in 2020 unless your conditions improve, which we all know will probably not happen.

I personally would wait until your 2020 exam to request it. But I would submit a Dr medical opinion/exam that’s states the conditions are permanent and total ect ect.
