Hello I'm Lloyd and new to the forum. I'm currently 53 years old, recently I resigned from federal employment after 33 years due to my PTSD.
My question is will the VA automatically convert my temporary 100 percent award to permanent and total once I reach 55, or do I have to request it?
I filed my disability claim more than 20 years after my separation from service - late filer. At any rate, I was awarded 100 percent (combat) for PTSD on December 1, 2016, along with, 50 for sleep apnea and asthma, 10 R/L Ankles, 10 R/L Knees, 10 Skin Disorder in 2014.
Any insight you can provide on this issue is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Lloyd
