Lady Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Just wanted everyone know my husband got the news last week they made him P&T. No more exams, and I did get the educational benfit also. Also the medical from ChampVa. This is so great . I have been staying at home taking care of my husband and did not have health insurance. He is 70% P&T. This may sound silly but should I do a NOD and try to get him up to100% which he really is , or not put myself through more paperwork. I am also trying to S/C alot of his health problems with his PTSD. So this is why I am asking about 70% or try for the 100%. Hope this makes sense to all , we are very happy.Mary&Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim S. Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Lady Mary: Did your husband also get TDIU for unemployability? Since he is 70% T&P they should have. I think it is optimal that he be found 100% T&P I believe you and he would be eligible for other benefits that being only 70% would not allow you to be qualified for. Someone more knowlegdable might know how to better answer your question. Plus if he has c heart condition because of his PTSD and he should pass away from a heart attack, then you would have a claim to DIC The more problems that are possibly life threatening, that are SC the better you stand should he die as a result of one of these conditions, you will have a better chance for servicer benefits. Good luck and keep asking questions and you will eventually get your answer you need. Jim S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 11, 2005 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 11, 2005 Lady: Seems to me like you have all that you need with full benefits. Remember that full 100% without TDIU requires a very high threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
