Well in my case there is no way the VA provided the final rating. I had my re-eval with the VA months prior to my TDRL appointment and the VA upheld my 70% for ptsd. Screw it. After advice from my attorney and my wounded Warrior program liason I decided to take the 50% and PDRL from the af. I'm...

That is just weird that I have to file a new claim. That's basically saying that my condition has gotten worse when it hasn't. I just found out about this tdiu / ui thing so that's why I'm filing for it. I understand it's the VA way and we just have to follow their rules. I'll see if there is a...

I don't know what a VSO is, but I do have an attorney for my formal peb appeal.

I tried to submit a a TDIU/UI request and eBenefits stated that I must have a claim in the pending stage or something like that. If that is the case then that is stupid. I would have to submit a new claim stating something has gotten worse or a new claim for some other ailment. That makes...

Does anyone know if it is common practice to always lower your PTSD rating when they feel you have stabilized and offer you PDRL? Is it even possible to keep a TDRL rating of 70% or is the 70% just given because it is considered not stabilized? I guess the main question is if you are initially...

What file are we talking about? The NARSUM does indeed contradict what the 356 narrative States, but if no pay will be lost then I'm not going to worry about it. My main question now is if my crsc will increase with my rating going down to 50%?

Thanks Bob! That did give me a starting point. If I accept the offer of 50%, then I will indeed loose around $500. This would indeed not be good for my family and I. Follow-up question: If I accept the 50%, would my CRSC % go up since it will be based off of the 50% now instead of the 70%...

I have posted this already, but I hijacked another thread (which is not cool) so I'm making my own now. I've gotten a little bit of knowledge about this system, but I am far from understanding everything. Ok, so check it out. Believe it or not, I'm still confused :confused:. I've attached a...

Ok, so check it out. Believe it or not, I'm still confused :confused:. I've attached a copy of my most recent eRAS (FOUO not visible ;)) Anyway to break it down I get paid $2276.84 from the VA and $203.70 from DFAS monthly. That pay is based on a 90% VA rating and 70% AF rating respectively...

I get $400 from the DoD, but on top of that I get $400 of crsc. So I get $2000 from va, $400 from AF for disability, and $400 from crsc. Sorry for the confusion.

I elected to get paid from the VA, so I get get $2000 from the VA and the DoD pays $400. I do get a little over $400 for crsc, so that will probably change. So with that being said, my pay shouldn't change since the higher amount is with the VA, right? I'm not sure what TDIU is so I will have...

We're agreeing on the first part. I just may have worded it weirdly. I've never gone a day sine being placed on TDRL where I didn't take my cocktail of pills and never went over a month without seeing a counselor, so that point is moot. I currently receive Social Security Disability payments...

Ok, I'm going to re-open this thread since it seems to have died. Firstly, how in the world could the AF lower your va rating? I don't really get that since the AF gives you a rating and the VA gives you a completely separate rating. The two ratings never even talk to each other. This brings...
