Because I was medically retired my Tricare Prime coverage rate was locked in. I just started a new job which offers subsidized health insurance. I understand that if I opt to pay for the offered coverage I will need to inform Tricare that I have OHI (other health insurance) which isn’t an issue...

Do these changes have an effect on those who are already permanently retired?

How do you submit a question to IRIS?

I received my rating post C & P reevaluation today. They lowered my chronic knee strain from 10% to 0% for both of my knees but increased my anxiety and depression rating from 30 to 70%. My overall rating went from 80% to 90%. I have a couple questions though. Under the evaluation of my knees...

My knees , chronic strain of left knee & chronic strain of right knee as well as depression with anxiety are reviewable according to my initial ratings but my 50% rating for OSA is permanent.

Well my mental health VA notes are finally showing on Myhealthyvet but on the ebenefits site it says my status is still waiting on third party. If my knee ROM is better according to C&P re-eval and they lower my rating can I lose my Chapter 31 benefits?

I had my mental health re-evaluation on 22 July and my notes are still not available on My Healthy Vet website yet. Is that something to be concerned about, it's been 6 days already.

Ok I will check. What is the typical timeframe for the VA to read and make decision on re-val?

MY c&p examination report is available, what exactly should I be looking for to determine if they might re-rate me?

Yes she tried to do ROM and was actually really forceful, one of my knees is still swollen from the amount of force she used.

Dang, I guess I have to try and figure out how to get them since my C & P re-eval was at a QTC clinic. Anyone know how to get copies from them?

Where on the My Healthy Vet site would that be?

I had my first C&P re-eval exam today on my knees. The PA who saw me gave me the impression she didn't see anything wrong with my knees. I was rated 10% for chronic knee strain originally and I feel like my knees are only getting worse. How long does it take to get results? I'm concerned they...

It should be, I have to pick up records next week.

I requested copies of notes from my psychiatrist to take to appointment and I will be going through them. I'm just concerned that since I'm not taking the anti-depressants that the VA will see that I don't suffer anymore which is not the case at all.
