Good Morning,
It has been awhile since I have been in the forum. I have discussed this some in the past, but I am looking for more clarification. I got out via a MEB/PEB back in February 2017. It has been 4 years now and I am wondering when I should be getting another evaluation to change my VA disability compensation to permanent or if they will ever do so. The thought of it not being permanent and feeling like I can lose my 100% rating at any time bothers me. On top of that, the property tax exemption and the DEA benefits for my daughter make acquiring the P&T status more important. When looking at attempting to file a claim to receive P&T, I only see the options to file a new claim (for a new disability) or to file that something got worse. I am not filing that things got worse, but merely stayed the same at 100% and that it is permanent and isnt expected to change. So I am unsure how to file.
If you guys could help me with clarifying when/if the VA will ever re-evaluate me on their own to seek a permanent status, and/or if not how to properly file for P&T.
I would greatly appreciate any and all information and advice out there.
Thanks,
Joe
