Hello Dewayne, in PR all de VBA and VHCS have to go back to work from offices and believe, they are not happy. I said the samething, they need to go back to their offices. Too comfortable working from home and when you ask them that we want the appointment presential, they get mad and treatment and not too friendly.

Just got a 10% for tinitus, I don't have anything on my file period. I spent 10 in the Virginia National Guard, as an Artillery cannoneer. ETS in 1993 been having this problem for years. Just started to get back.benefits. However the VA. Says I'm not qualified for anything more. What can I do to get more, at a 50- 70%
You would need medical evidence and a current diagnosis that would equate to a 50% to 70% disability. You can’t just request it. Everyone is not going to be 100% either.
Hello Dewayne. I just scheduled my C&P, is there anything I need to do to prepare for this? Are there any questions I should be asking, or any suggestions to help my claim?

HI Dewayne , After going back and forth with the VA since 95 and being denied for sc. I finally had a HLR IC, I went through my c-file with the adjudicator and she said I was very thorough and she would go over my claim. Well the next day she called me back n said she couldn't give me a rating without a p m o. I left out a lot of details trying to keep this short. What should I do next?

Hello Dewayne! I am SC for PTSD 70% - Vertigo 30% - Sleep Apnea 50% - Tinnitus 10 % - Hypertension 10% - TIA 10% which brings my total ratings to 93%.

Dewayne I reached out to Access Medical but they don't service Fayetteville NC FT LIBERTY area. Do you have any contacts here that could do lower back pain dbq for me?

Greetings Sir- Thave a static rating that I believe can should be a higher rating. If I submit a claim for an increase would I be at risk of losing the static rating I now have? I'm wondering if it's static because I received the rating after my 53rd birthday. Does that play a role in the static rating?
@Thanks to your content I have. I mentioned the higher rating criteria that I meet when I did my c&p exam. The examiner checked the boxes I think are needed but didn’t spell it out in the notes section. Thanks for all you do. By the way I’ve completely read your book and I’m using it as I prepare my claims.

Hey, Federal workers get ya'll butts back in the office with your spoiled selves with all of them extra holidays, ya'll get off. People know ya'll only work about four hours a day when scheduled for eight hours😂😂😂
If it was me and they tried to force me back. I would get an RA, that will over ride having to go back in the office. Many of them know this and working on getting one.
@DewayneKimble I'm sure everyone wouldn't be able to get one. Trump would either limit it or get rid of it all together. Everyone is expendable. Remember when Reagan got rid of all those federal air traffic controllers back in the eighties when they went on strike
