Question:

Hi Jim, I'm 100% P&T since 2016. Vietnam era Navy veteran and 63 years old. 50% for my back, 30% for depression and 20% IU. My back has gotten worse in the last four years since I first applied. What would be your advice for going in for a re-evaluation? There is signs of arthritis sometimes I get a debilitating pain going down my left leg that stops me in my tracks. Please advise, thank you.

If you're at 100% P & T I don't understand what you think you'd gain with an evaluation? My advice would be to go see your doctor and get treated and not worry if you can get a higher rating.
