hi all, vso and clinics and others keep telling me "don't poke the bear" after i was finally judged 100% by vba. i still have ptsd and pact act claims denied, but now on appeal. these folks say vba will go in and mess it all up and maybe i lose the 100% for no good reason but incompetence. however, i have read that survivor benefits can be impacted if you are in a 10 year window after 100% rating unless death has a "military service" connection. so there could be good reason to just have the two listed as service connected. any thoughts. second, do we veterans really have to worry about vba dropping our rating from 100%. seems like an implied threat that if you appeal they will (knock knock) take it out on you. thanks
