i just got a letter to report for another c & p for my ptsd after being rated 100 % for 2 1/2 years.
whats up , i am freaked out , i also have non service connected congestive heart failure ,copd and arithmia ,i havent been able to work for 4 years , any info???

Be sure and go to the C&P. Ask the examiner to help you get P&T. Do you get SSD? If so take proof of it to examiner.

Good Luck

Nothing's "up". The VA can call you for an exam anytime. Just answer the question honestly.

This exact same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Try to be relax, I think it is pretty routine. Tell them that you PTSD is still a major problem in your life. Tell them about your worse days.

Note that you will still have an opportunity to file a NOD if the VA decides to change your rating. I would not worry much about it.

You will be there for a re-evaluation of PTSD, so Stay focused on your PTSD, I wouldn't go into your non SC disabilities unless asked.

If by some rare chance the VA were to reduce you to less than 100% make known to the examiner that you are unable to work at this time. You should be considered for IU even if you were reduced from 100%. Until you get P&T you are going to get these calls. This is why I say that if you get IU or 100% you should appeal any denial of chapter 35.

If you have not gotten better you should ask them to make IU P&T

I would like to thank all you you brother vets that helped me with great advice.
i just heard from my poa and i was awarded t and p on my ptsd,what a giant relief.I will continue to be a member so i can help anyone that comes after me needing incouragement and advice.
THANK YOU ALL!

Permanent and Total is a very valuable benefit for any Veteran. Use the benefits becuase there are a lot of them.

Congratulations.

iron,
Your profile shows Sarasota, Florida.
Do you know that in Fl. a vet that is SC'd at 100% P&T
pays ZERO dollars for property taxes on one home they own or are purchasing ?
That means you can own a 5 million dollar home with zero property
taxes to be paid.

Of course I am not suggesting the purchase of a 5 million dollar home,
just pointing out the great benefit for you.

There are several more state benefits available to you.

Check them all out.
