Just FYI for everyone. I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in 2014. Since I had "boots on the ground" in Vietnam, the cause given was Agent Orange. It took about 2 1/2 months to receive a 100% disability. That rating stayed in place until I was treated (brachytherapy) and I was determined to be cancer free. I was then down-rated to 20%. I appealed and got boosted to 40% permanent where I am today. In addition I get SMC-K.
Another hint is to see if your are eligible for CRSC. I am and that cuts the tax as CRSC is tax free.
Good luck to all those filing.

MSG Stan Hutchison If the cancer comes back will the V. A. re-evaluate you and increase your percentage back up to 100% or say they cured it so you are basically stuck where you are? That would be a question I would ask them.

MSG Stan Hutchison That sucks hind tit... but doesn't surprise me. God forbid the cancer returns... but if it returns in a different part of your body will they return you to 100% & backpay to when they reduced it?
I think you got screwed. I hope you appealed the increase to 40% for not being high enough. I got screwed over for years... then I got an Attorney. I delivered my paperwork... reviewed it... & took my case having never meeting with him. If they take your case, they are confident they can win it. If they don't think they can win... they won't take your case.
If you're interested in the Firms Name & contact information, send me a Connection request & then I'll send you a private message. If not... no problem... just thought I would offer.
Oh... they were successful in getting me 100%.

SGT (Join to see) - Thanks for the offer. I went through the regulations and guidelines and it is very explicit. I reach the 40% but no higher. That was Congress's decision. And, yes, if any cancer comes back, I get boosted back up to 100% but, no backpay.
