Case close for increase claim

[tuanntrang]

Hello everyone,

Happy labors day to all, so my question was i my current disability is rated at 50% since last years, since then i haven't seen any improvement myself, I haven't work much or able to keep a stable job, my last job was at home depot for prob 2 months as a greeters around the end of 2019, I just submit all my disability for an increase on may 2020 and my case just close on September 3rd 2020, when to only 1 C&P exam where the doctor just ask me about my injury and how it feel about it, if i pull any muscle or tears any thing, i told the doctor it just hurt when walk or stand, some flare up sometime on my knee. so i limited myself to mostly sit or lay on bed, can't keep a job for long. She told me so you disable then and just told me the exam is finish. No extra check up/exam, No xray or mri.

 

I know my case is complete and the letter should be here soon, but my question is how likely for me to get an increase? if so how much could i percent should i expected?

I heard from someone that if i get approve most likely my ebenefits rating should have changes before my letter arrived, if it doesn't chance til my letter arrive that mean most likely is a denied letter.

Since you had some ratings increased and some ratings decreased, your current rating is a combined 50%.  It also appears that the VARO also deferred some ratings, so it is not over yet. Your claims for your left and right ankles have been deferred so expect at least another exam. What did the Reason and Bases section say about your condition?

Let me check again, they sent me an email last time about covid stuff for ves maybe they want an xray or something. My current case claim still pending ot not even close yet so i dont know if this is an error letter or what.

I really confuse about this so they trying to get me to another exam? or they think all my disability worth only 50%?

First things first, I am quite sure I can see your claim number on your first post today, you should edit that post.

 

Now for your deferred claims review item number 3 and 4 in your Reason For Decision Section that suggest a VA Examination.

Thanks, i delete that 1st image if that what you mean. I'm just alittle confuse that if i'm doing worst why would they change from 50 to 60 then back to 50 and plus the claim is not even close.

 

So as you see where it say the right hip and thight limite extention increase to 10 but on the bottom it say decrease to 0% so they decide to upgrade me then decrease me?

OK now I am confused, why does it appear that items 1, 5, and 7 are for the same condition/disability and items 2, 6, and 8 are for the same condition/disability? Hopefully others will chime in but this is crazy. Are these conditions supposed to be rated separately?  How are the coded?
