What is a smart thing for Veterans to do getting close to their 20 year protection Rule on having there 100% or TDIU P&T for 20 consecutive years?
As I understand when Veterans reach this mile stone or right before lets say a year or even months away from the 20 year protection...The VA Comes out and trys to ruin the party with a reevaluation of the veterans S.C. Conditions to see if he has actually shown improvment? and reduce his 100% or his IU.
Question?
is it in the Veterans best interest to file on more claims to build up his %?
say the veteran has a160% total or combined rating to get him /her to the 100% rating and has kept this rating for over 19 years...> since the VA can reevaluate a veteran at any given time the more the veteran has been rated for the harder for the VA to reduce below the 100% correct?
Like if a Veteran has a total rating of 160% and the VA reevaluates and says he has improved on these rating for a 70% improvement then they can propose to reduce him below the 100% ...but if he has more ratings then its hard for them to knock him down below the 100% and he would be safe for the 20 year protection correct?
so it would be in the veterans better intrest to add more s.c. conditions or secondary conditions to keep from being reduced getting close to his 20 year protection.
Correct?
Anyone?
