The VA Routine Explained: What You Need To Know For Your Future Examinations

[@ericanton8151]

I just had a 3 year reexamine yesterday!

[@EeveeLO6]

What’s your overall rating?

[@johncasper8193]

@@ericanton8151 always be ready for a re-examination by the VA. Don’t get complacent. My disabilities are over 20 years old and I still fear re-examination. I don’t trust the VA.

Thank you for keeping us informed and updated.

Mental health doesn't get better. It gets worse.

[@Kenbot2]

I don’t understand how the VA could possibly think mental health will improve overtime I live in a very big city and a lot of the homeless people have mental health issues. I would like to see the VA go tell those people their issues will improve. We all know they will not I don’t have mental health issues, so obviously I’m not rated for it but for somebody who is wouldn’t a future examination just be something that created additional stress for someone who’s already dealing with mental health issues. I don’t understand the VA thinking on this.

Also, they will fight you tooth and nail on your PTSD diagnosis. They try to say it’s just chronic depression and an anxiety disorder.

I’m assuming that If your 100% P &T, this should not be a concern, unless you mess it up, correct?

[@BridgesDontFly]

Unless you open a new claim or fraud was found you should be fine.

[@marshalloutdoors1791]

Does anyone know this question on a 100% P&T disabled person about reviews?

[@BridgesDontFly]

P&T Static; Static No Review; Unless You/VA Make Fraud; Or You Open New Claim (PLEASE RETURN THE CRAYONS ONCE YOU'RE DONE CHEWING ON THEM)

[@johncasper8193]

You can be reviewed at any time. Or turn 65 years old. Or your claim is 20 years old.

[@Kenbot2]

@@johncasper8193 it’s 55 not 65

[@brown_beauty7499]

Besides 100% P and T at what point does the VA stop reevaluating you for your mental health connection?

[@johncasper8193]

You can be reviewed at any time. 100 P T does not mean you cannot be reviewed.

[@zurabsalavatov9899]

Incorrect, P&T means there's no more tests unless you file another claim or there's some fraud involved

[@johncasper8193]

@@zurabsalavatov9899 that’s not true.

The rules goes also for PACT Act compensations who served in any hostile environment like Persian Gulf War?

[@mmou3878]

That's crazy!!!!

[@tonydatu]

What ratings are considered permanent? PTSD isn’t temporary, you can’t take away the traumatic event

[@TheTraveler_SamuelChampion]

Well I’m 100% P&T for Mental alone so I’m I subjected to this and mine is bad

[@BridgesDontFly]

I know those words, just not in that order.

[@johncasper8193]

@@TheTraveler_SamuelChampion yes, permanent, and total does not mean the VA will not review your disability. We have to go by their rules. But, the VA has no rules, no time limits.
