    C&P Increase Exam - Hearing Loss

    Thanks - but I’ve been around for a while. Lol. I just always pop back-in to answer any messages or when I have questions because this forum has been a major part of getting to where I am since the start of my separation in 2016. Thanks again for the responses and good luck to you!

    C&P Increase Exam - Hearing Loss

    Cool. Thank you so much for your time and help. I believe filing an appeal isn’t an option as the original date of ‘not service connected’ was 3-4 years ago. I think there’s a 12 month window for that. Thanks again!

    C&P Increase Exam - Hearing Loss

    Holy crap - that was fast. And informative! So do I submit a ‘new’ claim? And I suppose after doing so (I’ve never done this before) there’s an area on there that I can write to describe the aggravated in-service event(s)?

    C&P Increase Exam - Hearing Loss

    So I just completed a most recent C&P exam for disabilities the VA originally deemed service connected but at a zero percent (0%) connected rating. All in which have been established during my initial C&P exam following exit of AD. I’m currently at 90% and i have more than a handful of service...

    Increase

    Approximately 9 weeks after requesting an increase for sleep apnea (0%), lumbar (10%) and migraines (0%), I had a visit at a local LHI. The entire visit, wait time including was less than an hour. Last night I logged in just to check (the appointment was 5 days ago) and I was awarded: Sleep...

    Increase

    See... This was my real internal concern; that many disabilities can be interpreted being related and creating paths I do not want to venture with the VA. I’m super lucky and tremendously thankful on how things have worked out for me since being placed on TDRL and then only having one...

    Right, which makes total sense. I’ve never requested an increase before, so I’m unaware of how the process takes place. But after reading your post and thinking about it, I guess it’s safe to say that if I request an increase in sleep apnea/back pain/migraines/hearing - there’s zero reason for...

    I apologize for the multiple postings (moderators). Yes; only speaking on behalf of VA increase. My concern is VA lowering my PTSD rating when asking for increase for other service connected disabilities. And I’m not sure if I need a Nexus letter or not.

    Increase

    I have a bunch of questions pertaining to submission for higher ratings. I’m 70% DoD/80% VA/70% CRSC. I was TDRL as of 2017 and PDRL as of 2019. Question1: If I request an increase of rating for knee (example) is it possible to get a decrease in another injury (like my PTSD)? Why do I ask...

    Updating DD-214/15

    Hello all, I’ve been placed on PDRL for a while now and I just realized that my DD-214 states ‘temporary’. How to I update this? I’m also concerned that when I update my ID in DEERS, not having a current/updated DD Form may present problems. USMC retired. Thanks for all the help. -Nick

    Post TDRL; Transferee to PDRL

    Hello folks, I’ve been officially transferred to PDRL earlier this year. Yesterday I’ve received a letter DFAS and today after an hour on hold, finally reached a representative who was unfortunately not very helpful at all. It wasn’t her fault as she advised that she does not have access to...

    TDRL to PDRL - Requesting input

    As far as I’m aware, I have not been transfered to PDRL since I’ve accepted my findings. I’m guessing it’s still in the works because I’ve not received anything by mail. As far as the calculations go, I also had similar findings when playing with the numbers and percentages. Even the lawyer...

    TDRL to PDRL - Requesting input

    Update As mentioned before, I did decide to finally accept the findings and sign for them. The IDES attorney called me Monday and at the time I informed him that I accepted the findings. He told me that is was probably for the best that I did agree to do so, but also informed me that my CRSC...

    TDRL to PDRL - Requesting input

    I have received my findings by certified mail advising that I be moved from TDRL, and placed on PDRL and (remain) at a rating of DoD 70%. This is amazing news for my family, but I’ve noticed something on the proposed ratings that caught my curiosity: Page 1, item #13: - states “ the...

    TDRL to PDRL

    Chaplaincharlie, So I just had my 1st re-evaluation. I’m currently rated as shown in the attached picture. But after reading your response, does that mean that if I’m placed on PDRL, then my pay will also change and I will only be receiving whatever is higher of the two (DoD/VA)? And what...

    CRSC Questions - Change in DoD Ratings

    So I just completed my first TDRL re-evaluation via Navy @ Pensacola. The check-in/appointment/check-out process went a lot smoother than I anticipated. I believe the entire process was ~3hrs and I’m happy that’s its owner with. I do however believe I will remain TDRL for at least another...
