Question:

Jim, I am rated 70% PTSD with major Neurocognitive diagnosis, and 10% Tinnitus. I have been awarded, TDIU Total and Permanent. Evidently, I have been wondering at night, sleep eating, and not handled finances well. In general, I've been have been doing some unsafe things like leaving stove on. I applied for SMC aid and attendance. I was sent for a C & P evaluation for PTSD and TBI. Have I messed up and can they lower my rating?

Jim's Reply:

No, you haven't messed up and no, your rating won't be lowered. I'll guess that the worst that could happen is nothing...your rating stays the same. But then again...you may get an increase! Hang tight...you'll do OK.
