1-stop-shop for Veteran benefits: CivDivonline.com I'm sorry I have been a bit sporadic with the posts. I am still in grad school and coming to the completion of two classes, which will leave me with one left. So, in September/October, you guys will be seeing a lot more of me as I will be done! I hope everyone is doing well out there! Side note: TDIU is based on federal income limitations without dependents. ‘10k’ is just a roundabout # and we chose to my go low. If you’re TDIU, make sure you fall within the income limitation. - Jay

I understand something a bit better because you said it well. Basically if you are P and T you must have static conditions that add up to the VA math 100% - simple. It is such a pain to get the document that says static.

#FloridaMan23, you might need to reread your decision letters. I know I missed a bunch of stuff in mine. If you are rated at P&T, they usually leave these "Static (usually meaning 5 years or longer)" conditions alone. Also, keep going to your appointments, as if you sluff them off, they can say you are not participating in your healthcare, rehabilitation, or recovery and close you off.

100% P&T…will be 10 years on 1 July 2024 (10 year retirement anniversary as well); and, I turn 55 in November. I get my healthcare both through Tricare (use the family medicine clinic at my closest military base (Ft Detrick) and my wife’s healthcare insurance (GEHA) through her federal job with a local Inova clinic. Only been to a VA clinic once in the past 8 years or so…that was recently in Puerto Rico when I slipped and fell hitting my back on a step at the Airbnb I was staying at.

What if all your conditions but one are static? Can a T&D still be granted based on majority of conditions being static? My only non static condition is migraines, with no improvement (actually unclaimed worsened symptoms) in over 15 years.

I hop you can answer a question. I have a 20% rating from ealry 2000 for a MCL and ACL injury. I finally tore my ACL and MVL completly in bicycle accident. in September 2023. I had an ACL and MCL graft done in December. I was out of work for 4 months and now rehabing still. My question is will they consider my disability fixed and reduce my rating? Thank you. I have only been evaluated once and did it on my own.

#TheCivDiv I have asked the VA and various VSOs about Veterans working while getting IU. There is no real answer other than "gainful and sustained employment." Thank you, Gunny Oblivious. We have no ideas about programs or allowances (this is the Ist have heard of $10K or close to as an actual figure), etc. I know many vets are struggling because of the "real/effective inflation rate." Please, won't you make a video on this? I believe most veterans want to know the rules, yet we don't know where to look, so we will tune in here with you.

Where I could find on my healthy benefit or anything like that? That would tell me how many years I have because I'm coming up on my 5-year and I don't know if it's going to be this year or the next and I'm really worried until at least the 5 year is in effect Also, a friend of mine wanted me to ask if you have the 20-year rule and you are incarcerated. Does that overrule the Congressional order that you cannot lower the rating past what it's been for the past 20 years??
@TheCivDiv Ай бұрын
The 5-year portion is predicated on each condition, so you could just see when the effective date was granted for that condition, and that should give you a general idea. The incarceration question is a really good one... I am actually not sure, as I have not come across a mention of that in my research. Still, if I had to guess, the incarnation would override the 20-year rule, just like it overrides all rights outside of the 8th Amendment. That is just a guess, but I will look into it and get back to you. -Jay

@dbcria1 Ай бұрын
@@axl67 Perhaps because they gave it to me in 2008 and there wasn't a way to verify medically that I have ringing in my ears. I was a helicopter mechanic and I deployed 4 times so it was pretty much a given that I was service connected for that 10 percent, but perhaps because they gave it to me their one requirement is that it's not "static". I'm not really sure, but either way it won't impact my overall 80% rating if they were to reduce that one because everything else is static.

If i no longer wish to seek treatment for certain conditions because theyre not worth it, is that a problem st P&T? I have a foot condition and the inserts just make my back hurt more, and id rether just use OTC gel inserts but i dont want that to look like im magically cured.
@Kenbot2 Ай бұрын
If you use VA healthcare, I would tell my doctor exactly what you just said. They inserts hurt your back and you buy them over-the-counter that will be in his notes and part of your medical records. If you use your private insurance, I would inform my private doctor that the VA inserts, cause me back pain and I purchased them over-the-counter this way you will still have doctors notes that support your claim that you are continuing treatment just at your own expense. This is exactly what I do. I get treated for my back with my private insurance but once a year at my VA appointment, I inform my VA doctor of all the treatment I had and he put it in his notes, there is evidence for the VA.
@DopamineSink Ай бұрын
@@Kenbot2 ok, I'll do that. I know that the VA technically isn't supposed to rate on treatment,they're supposed to retenon symptoms, but I don't want to cause any unnecessary issues for myself. There comes a point sometimes where all you can really do is take the meds and cope. As I get older, that's how it is more and more. I might not for surgery in then future, but it's not in the cards for me right now. Thanks for your input
@Kenbot2 Ай бұрын
@@DopamineSink no problem. I agree with your statement that the VA rates symptoms not the treatment. Look at it like this you are seeking treatment because you still have the symptoms. Just like your medication always refill them because that is treatment for the symptoms you continuously have.that will always be my strategy and I will always have evidence that says I still have the symptoms. Good luck and I hope you are doing as well as possible.

@dbcria1 Ай бұрын
The problem with going to the reevaluation is that they're pretty much out there to deny, that's their sole purpose (tell yourself what you want, but this is the safest and most logical assumption- prepare for the worst and hope for the best). But, you don't really have a choice so go to it and have your appeals at the ready. And most importantly, always maintain your appointments and never tell them you're "OK", be honest about where you stand and if it's bad then complain complain complain, every time you go to the doctor. Bring up the issues you truly have and make sure this gets in the notes. If they don't annotate it then call your team and leave a message stating that x, y, or z didn't make it into the notes and you just wanted to make sure the doctor noted your condition. Use the VA messaging system because this definitely gets into your C-file. Protect your ratings, it's a non-stop gig.
