ok i have my va exam all next week in vista and la jolla ca. i know 20% or lower is seperated and 30-40 tdrl and 50-100 is pdrl but my questions are as follows.
i am getting rated for dod on my leg, compartment syndrome and foot drop. (from a motorcycle accident. but im claiming 19 other conditions for the va
Qs
1) if it comes back as say 40% dod and 80 va which obviously the va would be more money per month do i get to choose?
2) is their anyway if i get say 40 or 30 dod that i choose severance pay inseted of 1000 dollars a month? because i have 3 kids and marries 1000 a month wont pay our car paymnets rent food ect it wont what the heck would i do? at least severance pay would pay off our vehicles and set us up till i found a good job back home in or.
3) im going back to oregon and everyone on here says is i get retired i wouldnt get unemployment cause retirement counts as pension but my buddies that have gotten out and did a va claim and get $ every moth still rate full unemployment and voc rehab which diss pay UE and school they bring on over 4k a month which would def pay the bills for us and the kids.
im claiming DOD
foot drop
compartment syndrome right leg
va
PTSD
insomnia
chronic diarrhea
temporbiladeral joint dysfunction (jaw)
tinnitus
bilateral hearing loss
facuit syndrome, lunbar spine
otitus media
right hip condition
right knee condition
right ankle condition
headaches
painful scar (post operation compartment syndrome)
and a few others that are embarrassing but anyways.
so obviously my va is going to be higher the my dod rainting but my question is mostly when it comes back can i choose between th etwo? i rally want a severance pay to get us out of the hole and cause my wife and my jobs when we get back will already have health insurance for us.
im not a pune ive been in 6 years im a sergeant ive done my deployments im tired of the corps im ready to go back to my small town in oregon and raise my boys. thanks for the imput guys and god bless all your hearts
