Question
AJ's Pain
I’ve been here for several years, rarely post but always lurk to see if I can ever offer any help. 5 years ago I was placed at 80% Scheduler and TDIU. Last month I was scheduled for a Comp and Pen re-evaluation and I had this appointment this Past Monday. It Lasted about 40 min, she was kind and understanding. I was still afraid the VA was going to lower my rating even though I’ve been terribly ill for 5 years.
Two days later my VSO called and said my rating is now Total and Permanent and my official letter and package would be in the mail on Friday. 2 days for a decision on T&P?! I’ve never seen the VA move that fast.
My question is: is it worth it to try now to get my rating to 100% Scheduler or just leave it as is, because I am paid at the 100% rate and it’s now T&P. I think I should just leave it, stop worrying over this stuff and live my life of Drs, specialists and hospitals. Because that’s mostly what my life is. I just turned 40 last month and 10 months ago SSDI approved my social security disability. So this rating is bittersweet. On the one hand my family and I are taken care of, on the other....I will never work again.
Thank you for any advice and I hope this question is in the correct forum.
