Adminstrator ShrekTheTank Posted August 4, 2019 Adminstrator Share Posted August 4, 2019 So is there a lot more work that goes into a vets claim when they hit 100% I am just wondering as to why the RO tries so hard to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted August 4, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2019 Great Question, Shrek. I don't know for sure but for my 2 cents, I think that there is an official or unofficial measurement taken by all the RO's in the country, and they don't want to have the most 100%. Sounds stupid, I know, but like you say, they pretty much pull out all the stops to not let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adminstrator ShrekTheTank Posted August 4, 2019 Author Adminstrator Share Posted August 4, 2019 It is crazy they went through every one of my conditions trying to find a link, until they found something they think will work. I bet there is probably some bonus or maybe it is the good ol boy club or something. GBArmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advise I got from my Veteran friend a long time ago, and I repeat it all the time.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted August 4, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2019 The VA pays out "about" 30 times more to Veterans who are 100 percent, vs Veterans who are at 10 percent. (10 percent is about 100 per month, while 100 percent Vets get around 3000 per month). So, the VA makes it about 30 times more difficult to reach the 100 percent milestone.

0 paulstrgn Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I know as I was getting closer the VA wants to reduce two of my disabilities. They put the reduction on hold in my case until they determine what my BVA grant percentages work out to be. I know I will get 50% for SA but I am not sure on the hypertension (I need at least 20%) to have 100% in disabilities without using my MH disabilities (I want P&T). But I do think the VA does not like to give the 100%. The VA seems to have forgotten why they are in business, because of us veterans. Even though we are no longer active duty we must keep fighting for our rights! JMO I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you. You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the RO's are undertrained and make decisions that defy believability. But I do not believe they try to deny 100%, it is the VA math that takes it's toll. In a BVA remand, a case that laste
