Question
jfrei
Its been rated for 20% since 2010, no retro will be gained with the increase anyways? so figured just to file for an increase to keep my disability levels accurate. My question is my claim was closed and it maintained the same rating which is better then reduction or severance but they said the doctor wrote pain flareups is why it was Maintained 20% and not increased to 30%. Flare ups to me doesn’t mean what I told her and stated I wake up in pain until I us the cream and take the drugs the VA gives me and then I do the dose 2 to 3 times a day to keep using my left arm….. Am I wrong to say that constantly in pain isn't a flare up I had an Xray last week and an MRI today for my shoulder finally after waiting 6 months for them to fix the docs mistake asking for the right shoulder and not the left? Also want to note the fact you can finally download decision letters way better then Waiting on snail mail

It appears like your kids can get DEA OR DIC but not both at least not at the same time. Read more here: https://www.va.gov/education/survivor-dependent-benefits/dependents-education-assistance/
