Hello everyone. First post here. Hope all is well.
Currently 70% PTSD with TBI and on IU since 2010. I also have 40% total of other ailments (back, neck, knees). My wife is my official VA caregiver and on the Post 9-11 Cargiver program.
In 2018, I made attempts to get a higher rating but was denied not long after the OTC appointments. I then submitted an appeal to the BVA.
In Feb of 2024, I received a letter from the VBA that a 100% rating for PTSD with TBI residuals was granted. A few more pages in the letter regarding Diagnostic Code 8045. It is written that the 'VA should consider the need for Special Monthly Compensation for such problems....."
It also states a remand for sleep apnea.
I have searched the internet about this topic but still don't understand. I did not apply for SMC at all. Does this mean they are going to switch me? What do they mean about remand?
Please chime in if you have any insight. I would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance.
