New benefit evaluation

Jim,

I have a friend of mine that has been drawing @ the 100% level of the VA. He has been doing so for the past 15 years. Today he go a letter stating that he has to come in for a new evaluation. His question is should he really be worried at his age, he is 64. I really appreciate all of the help you have show the veterans and myself and greatly appreciate and value all your input.

It's very unusual that he would be scheduled for an exam at this point. I can't imagine why the VA would bother.

However, he must attend the exam. He should not worry about it unnecessarily. Unless there are circumstances that I don't know about, he shouldn't have any problems.

If he does get a letter that proposes to reduce his benefit, please let me know asap. There are actions that must be taken quickly to halt that sort of thing.
