Will this court decision change the strategies of people filing claims--file for one in hopes of IU and hold back enough for later award of 60%? Or, will VA appeal this court decision as they did the...

If I understand the VA position correctly, with a iu rating T&P based on PTSD and lower peripheral neuropathy precludes later eligibility for 60% diabetes rating counting for smc. Is that a easy...

Not an easy enough question. Or I haven't understood well enough. "Bradley" requires that the vet be IU, and the legal rationale in that case is that that IU counts as the one total/100% disability...

An example of what I'm trying to state would be a vet who is rated based on his original claim as follows: 60% for heart disease, and 60% for a back injury. If he can get VA to somehow grant IU based...

Given the opinion in Bradley, I'd like to present VA a case where there is a medical opinion that the 70% PTSD alone (or any other disability that is rated 60% or more and meets the minimum IU...

Ivac, What does the vet do, if SMC (S) is awarded but not stated in the rating decision? Does he/she submit an NOD and ask for awarded amount derivation? Please advise. Thanks.
