Vision

[Aron Crouse]

I have been fighting the VA over my vision rating, recently had my compensation and pension exam and found that I have about 30 percent of my field of vision remaining in my left eye to go along with diplopia, seeing spots, blurring, and seeing shiny things in the corner of my eyes. I was initially given a 0 percent for diplopia corrected by glasses and am in the supplemental claim stage right now. My question is, has anyone seen any ratings come out of for these eye conditions and second what ratings have you seen?

Aron Your condition, symptoms and ratings should be identified here http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/theeyes.html#system  . If you feel that your final rating is less than what you deserve, take your exam to a specialist and see if he would rate/diagnose more severe conditions. That is an IMO; then you appeal again.

I have a 20% rating for binocular Diplopia ( not correctable , photophobia, and 4th nerve cranial palsy).   I have been told by a VSO that because my vision is at least 20/40, 20% is the max I could get .

i am telling you this from memory before I have checked my “ebenefits” account .  There might be other conditions listed but that is all I remember.

 

I hope my experience can shed some light.  I know it’s not exactly what you are asking .
