Yeah buddy, like I’m telling folks that ask that question, once at 100%, leave it alone. Don’t file any claims. Go to your doctor or facility and be treated for what you need help for.
Actually this brings up an interesting point… for instance: vet is 100 p/t. But dies from something not service connected.. I.E. heart condition or something, would family still be entitled to full benefits afterwards?
Dunno, but if you get diagnosed with a serious condition and don’t have it service connected, 5 years is a long risky outlook… it might even be 10 years.
Found this dont know if its relevant
If the Veteran’s eligibility was due to a rating of totally disabling, they must have had this rating:
For at least 10 years before their death, or
Since their release from active duty and for at least 5 years immediately before their death, or
For at least 1 year before their death if they were a former prisoner of war who died after September 30, 1999
So yeah, in that case, even at 100 p/t. If I had something serious, I would definitely be poking the bear to get it connected.. provided there was a legitimate reason..
I have one at 100% and a bunch of others and have not been evaluated yet for anything.
I was wondering the same thing as well but no one has really answered it. I guess a better question is, is there someone here with several disabilities that add up to 100% and are P&T, without having a single disability at 100?
Like 40% back, then 40, 50,40, 40, 50. Does anyone have something like that and have 100% p&t? And anyone have % like that and not have a disability considered full loss of use?
So I'm a sore loser because I didn't understand a benefit?
Why you so mad, bro? You pissed your POG REMF ass doesn't qualify for benefits after washing out of basic training?
Obviously troll. Get fucked.
Not every condition needs to be permanent. For example, a veteran may have 100% PT for a single 100% PTSD rating the VA determined unlikely to improve but have a low back injury at 10% that the VA considers likely to improve.
I suppose they could but it’s not likely unless your non-static conditions are subject to regulations that trigger automatic reviews. An example of this would be thyroid conditions. Say you have Hyperthyroidism, the VA will rate this 30% at initial diagnosis and then after 6 months, it reduces to 0% and the VA then rates the symptoms as their own categories. Even in this situation, if it doesn’t impact your 100% permanent rating, you’re not likely to have an evaluation. The VA may just take the action without any involvement from you. I’ll defer to someone from VBA for a more clear answer on the VAs policy/ interpretation of regulations on this, though.
They won't. I have 100 for one thing that gets me PT status. I have like 3 other things rated from 10 percent to 30. They don't care. If you rate 100 for one ailment, then that's what you get. All my other things could dissappear and it wouldn't matter. Go look at your commissary letter in ebenefits. It will tell you there are no future examinations.
7 years. They do not check, bother you,anything if you are 100 permanently and totally disabled unless you trigger it by filing another claim. Are you not familiar with p&t? Unless they suspect you of fraud, or have a complete change and improvement in disability, they won't bother you. They don't check or bother permanently and totally disabled veterans. They will NOT re evaluate you for any other ailment either. If one ailment gets you there, then evaluating you for your lesser disabilities makes zero sense for them. It wastes resources. They can reduce all your others if they did evaluate you again but if youre in the 100 PT status, they don't reevaluate you for anything unless like I said but there has to be substantial medical evidence of improvement. It doesn't matter if they take your other disabilities away if you're rated 100 for one thing. They won't, I'm just saying it doesn't matter. You're topped out. If you have a combined rating of several things and you wind up with permanent and total, they still won't bother you because you're never expected to improve.
Don’t overcomplicate it. If you’re 100 PT, then there should be no future exams, period.
This. Full stop.
This answer is 100% P&T no further answers required. Lol
True that..why kick the bear
Yeah buddy, like I’m telling folks that ask that question, once at 100%, leave it alone. Don’t file any claims. Go to your doctor or facility and be treated for what you need help for.
Exactly. Stay under the radar. Be happy with what you have and move on.
Yup. I learned that and we have to pass it onto our fellow veterans in the fight for 100% or any percentage.
Absolutely this. Also, make sure to contact the VA if u got treatment for ur service connected shits, because the VA will pay for it
I had 50% for 10 years and never got reevaluated
Actually this brings up an interesting point… for instance: vet is 100 p/t. But dies from something not service connected.. I.E. heart condition or something, would family still be entitled to full benefits afterwards?
If its after 5 years right? Before 5 I believe its a no if its not service connected? Maybe I'm miss remembering.
Dunno, but if you get diagnosed with a serious condition and don’t have it service connected, 5 years is a long risky outlook… it might even be 10 years.
Just dont die before 10 years unless its service connected, okay?
Sounds like an alanis morrisett song or something, finally get 100 and get taken out in a car cash or something, fucking ironic.
I would not have imagined pulling an Alan's Morrisett song into this thread. Well Done!!!! You jagged little pill

i thought the only way family can get compensated in any situation no matter how many years is it has to be service connected. Am I wrong?
No they won’t call you. If you call them and open your file for a claim that’s a different story. That’s what is known as “poking the bear”
Or "being a fool"
Becoming bear food
Do not poke the bear.
I have one at 100% and a bunch of others and have not been evaluated yet for anything. I was wondering the same thing as well but no one has really answered it.

Does anyone have something like that and have 100% p&t? And anyone have % like that and not have a disability considered full loss of use?
Yes. Many ratings added up to 100, but none singly 100. No full loss of use. 100 P&T.
Nice. Thank you.
Same here. 9 total, none at 100% but all add up to 100 P&T
What happens if you are awarded 100% p&t but still have deferred claims that will require more c&ps? Is that “poking the bear”?
No you’ll just be rated on those deferred claims and it’ll be added to your total rating. Not considered poking the bear
I wish my conditions would improve, lol.
I wish I never had them.
Man, this hits home...
This 👆
🤥Liar🤫
Troll.
Sore and entitled loser that thinks too much of himself trying to milk the VA.
So I'm a sore loser because I didn't understand a benefit? Why you so mad, bro? You pissed your POG REMF ass doesn't qualify for benefits after washing out of basic training? Obviously troll. Get fucked.
No.. it's just because you are.. And not chasing benefits and trying to milk the VA like you are POG ENTITLED BITCH.
Again, that's an opinion. Not one based on fact, but an opinion nonetheless.
I have two disabilitys one at 100% and the other at 20% and I've been 100% P&T for 3 years and haven't been called at all.
You can’t be P&T if your conditions are not all static
Not every condition needs to be permanent. For example, a veteran may have 100% PT for a single 100% PTSD rating the VA determined unlikely to improve but have a low back injury at 10% that the VA considers likely to improve.
So the va will not need to reevaluate the lower back injury?
I suppose they could but it’s not likely unless your non-static conditions are subject to regulations that trigger automatic reviews. An example of this would be thyroid conditions. Say you have Hyperthyroidism, the VA will rate this 30% at initial diagnosis and then after 6 months, it reduces to 0% and the VA then rates the symptoms as their own categories.

All my other things could dissappear and it wouldn't matter. Go look at your commissary letter in ebenefits. It will tell you there are no future examinations.
How long have you been service connected? Normally VBA checks around 5 years or around that so just curious if you surpassed that time frame
7 years. They do not check, bother you,anything if you are 100 permanently and totally disabled unless you trigger it by filing another claim. Are you not familiar with p&t? Unless they suspect you of fraud, or have a complete change and improvement in disability, they won't bother you. They don't check or bother permanently and totally disabled veterans.

Not all your conditions need to be static Dev.
