What do I can expect as far as VA rating

What is this exit interview your talking about? I never met with anyone from the VA other then hand in my 214 to my MSC.
 
that's the exit interview. You can add conditions before you leave the military and they will set VA exam within weeks after you are out.
 
Hmm... never had that one, luckily I didn't have anything new to add!
 
Grizz,

VA medical coverage for 5 years following discharge for all SM's. If a claim percentage is awarded, VA for life with the priority system in effect....1 being the highest. Now, that is just for the SM. If TDRL/PDRL then tricare in effect which gives the family benefits.

You weren't catching what I was saying, I was talking about the issues he has that weren't put on the NARSUM that will not get covered by the VA until they are rated. But, being that he is looking at 100% anyways, it whouldn't be much of an issue. My concern is to show others that they need to look at their stuff closely as an example of this guys case, which they did not.
 
Tracking...Roger. This process for me started a little over 5 years ago with my VA claim letter. The past 3 years on TDRL at 70%...patience is the key with knowledge of what is occuring as you have stated so often on your posts.

Thanks for your asistance helping out all the newbees with the questions and direction.
 
I try and do what I can, but much I don't know about. That is why others chime in like yourself with helpful info as you did. Thanks for the input!
 
I have my VA Exit Interview on Monday. They told me to bring my banking info, my marriage certificate and any paperwork that I got from my Peblo. I can also claim any additional items that I would like the VA to look at for a possible rating.
 
I would take the 100% va and go home. You will qualify for crsc anyways, so there will be plenty of disabled check, even if you have to pay health insurance. Take the money and go my friend. I am on active duty going thru PEB, and if they offer big VA %s and severance from DOD, I will take it and run. God Bless and good luck. Active Bud
 
No one can predict a rating. The best you can do is to be honest and complete with your input to the assessment. Whey you go to your C&P exams, you need to describe any given condition on your worst days. This is not the time to "man-up" and act like nothing is wrong or minimize any condition. Tell how it impacts your daily life. The VA will rate you as they will and if you feel the rating is less than the percentage for a given condition you can appeal the decision. A GAF score alone does not push a rating (I've been there). It is used by the treating psychiatrist to determine your level of social function in combination with your diagnosis and any other factors related to or secondary to your condition. It plays a role in a rating, but is not by itself a deteriminant of a rating.

I finally received my ratings this morning. Nice lady at the VA faxed them to me.

30% DOD and 80% VA Proposed

PTSD 30%
Crohns 30%
Migraines 30%
Scars 30%
Tinnitus 10%
Tongue Damage due to surgery 10%

Navy JAG in Pensacola is going to go over them with me, and I am going to accept the findings. Happy with the unfit from DOD, and the %s from the VA. Plus I have a sleep study next week, and if diagnosed with sleep apnea that will put me over the 100% mark. This long journey is finally coming to end.​
 
Congrats kiefer! I am glad you are happy with the results. To help speed things up read my post on what happens after signing the 199 the link is down in my signature block.
 
Congrats! You were able to talk to someone at the VA that was actually helpful.
 
My MSC told me that I would have to wait and go over my stuff with my PEBLO when the 199 is done. My MSC has my ratings from the VA that the VA sent to her and to the PEB.

That is the VA's policy. Releasing uncompleted ratings can get a VA rep. a nasty-gram from his/her boss. The ratings can change a little after discharge.

But then why would they show the propsed ratings at all on the 199 or even send them to peoples houses??? Just people trying to still control other people in my opinion...

Understood, the VA is run and supported by idiots. They have no concept of customer service.

The Service shows the 199 not the VA, and the they do so because the services failed to reasonably rate the injured service members in the past. The VA's policy was because they don't want incomplete rating getting to a Veteran, and then the ratings changing, and then getting even more congressionals.

The Services are the gold standard for socialized medicane. The VA makes Canada look really good...
 
Lol, my question was a smart @#$ question... I know it's to the Service Member's benefit. :D
