RE: Mistreatment at the Atlanta VAHC

in Veterans2 years ago

How did she get downgraded Jay?
That was one of my biggest fears; that if I stop using the VA, especially the Mental Health ¿Services?, I might lose my disability.
But I've asked several, and since my disability is PTSD secondary to MST, that won't go away.
Or so I've been reassured.
I'm 70% service connected, 100% unemployable (they say that means I'm getting PAID for 100%, but if I were 100% disabled, I could claim dental services as well, which I can't at 70%)

Sort:  

Apparently, she was "temporarily" assigned 100%. She was reassessed a couple of years later to be permanently assigned 70%.

Bureaucrats in the VA. Do they get a commission if they downgrade somebody? Wouldn't surprise me.

When she was downgraded, pay went down. Anything to screw a service member.
