0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted May 27, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 27, 2019 Usually if you reach the 100% either via TDIU or 100% scheduler depending on how bad your condition is??if it will improve? The Rater is suppose to look at your conditions and if any of the Dr's state that your SERVICE CONNECTED conditions are chronic or static status or of nature and its unlikely they will improve in your life time then they should give you the P&T, if not you can NOD The rating decision and request the P&T But it sure helps if you can get a Dr to state the above. MH Rating is a little harder because PTSD OR EVEN Depression can improve with treatment..its not likely that it will but its a possibility. *Example veterans with a high rating for hearing loss his /her condition is not expected to improve in their life time (common sense) That hearing loss never improves, it will only get worse and worse until your completely deaf if you live that long ...so naturally that condition is usually P&T if you do get P&T check your rating sheet and if you have another s.c. condition seperate from the 100% rating even with P&T you should meet the SMC S H.B. Criteria for another 378.month with one dependent (spouse)( However not exactly sure what SMC -S-H.B. Pays for that now days? I think my SMC S.HB is or was 347.00 with my spouse 5 years ago but I also get the E.D. smc k its rated at 0% service connected but pays the additional 108.** month adding to my 347.00 SMC-S H/B 489.00 ON TOP OF THE 100% My figures may not be exact but fairly close. I think my total monthly compensation check /direct deposit is 3.700. if you do get P&T then there's more benefits for you and your family champVA Insurance and other benefits like educational allowance for your spouse and children. so try your best to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any conditions beyond this would count toward the 60%? I am sure I am getting 60% for cardiovascular disease which will kick me to 96%. So then if ptsd gets raised and sleep apnea (which are on appeal). And does the va math still work beyond 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 paulstrgn Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 If I can ask a dumb question...is 100% P&T the same as 100% Scheduler? Sorry I just see both terms is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I just see both terms is all. So yes there is a difference in this P&T gives you a lot more benefits. Scheduler just means you have hit that rating in the va math for your benefits. There would be no added benefit if you did not get P&T. paulstrgn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that might be why it was deferred. Howdy, neighbor. (Lincoln)
