    Get a copy of your VA code sheet. It will tell you if your ratings are static and will also list your future exam if any

    If you're 100% P&T since all conditions are static...do you still have to see a va provider routinely. Meaning if you don't go to the VA for treatment for 5 yrs wiill the VA think your 100 P&T condition improved?

    • @VADisabilityGroup

      Once you get the P&T, your evaluation is protected. With this in mind, no, you shouldn’t need to see your provider for anything other than medical purposes once you are rated P&T.
      Hope that helps!

    Does 55 year rule fit in with static ,? I hope I'm saying this right? Thank you

      Yes, they can go hand and hand. Because a veteran is over the age of 55 years, their disability may be deemed static. For example, a 28 year old veteran with a 30% award for sinusitis may have a future exam scheduled because the VA believes there’s a likelihood of improvement. However, if the veteran were over the age of 55 the VA would be likely to call the condition static and not schedule a future exam. Hope that makes sense.
      Now if the veteran’s conditions total 100% (using VA math) and those conditions do not have a future exam scheduled, the veteran would be “permanent and total.”
      The “permanent” happens when the conditions used to reach 100% are all static.
      The “total” happens when the conditions total 100% using VA math.
      I hope that clarifies it for you. Thanks for the question.

    Also if the VA doesn't give you 100%P&T with all conditions static, you must contact the RSO and explain why you should be !

      Thanks for the comment!
      It’s exceedingly rare the VA fails to award P&T when there are no future exams because the P&T award is automated as an additional award by default in the VA’s adjudicative system (VBMS). Matter fact, we have never seen P&T not awarded when there are no future exams and 100% is awarded. This usually automatically happens.
      No question you are correct that a veteran should appeal the VA’s failure to award P&T of you are 100% and do not have a future exam.
      Thanks for the input!
