Vision Loss

I I feel where you’re coming from I’ve been there before and it’s like you’re in hell it’ll get a little bit better but it takes a long while to get there like I said don’t be afraid to ask for help it’s hard to do that after being so independent I pray that things get better for you. No matter what don’t stop fighting don’t quit
Will do! thanks for the support!
 
I concur with @gsfowler. You will get only one eye rating. The VA goes with the highest rating. If you explore the CFR you will see that your field of vision has a footnote by it. As stated above, that footnote reminds the rater to consider rating you for special compensation.
 
You do not need to remind a rater regarding SMC. It’s built into VBMS-R and will automatically apply any applicable SMC when calculating the percentages.
 
It says my case closed on 21 Oct but then it also says that it's pending decision approval. When will I be able to see my ratings?
 
Called the VA and they said they cant give out my rating over the phone and I havent heard anything from my PEBLO...
 
Sounds like something may drop soon. Who knows always a waiting game.
 
I am glad they are going to take care of you. I hope your transition goes well keep us updated on how you are doing.
