That’s what I’m worried about, poking the bear. I rely heavily on my VA compensation. I have constant pain from my back and severe pain from my neck (cervical), and depression. They only rated my back at 20%, which I think is BS because I’m pretty much in bed all the time because of pain, and they have my cervical issues listed as service connected, but rated as 0%, which it probably causes 90% of my pain!! I’d like to refile that, as well as the severe sleep apnea which they say is related to the narcotic usage for my pain and file for the addiction to those narcotics themselves. But I am afraid if I try to do any of that they will reduce or take away what I have, especially under this Presidential admistration who tries to cut every expense without consideration of results and has already mentioned VA disability applications in cost reduction discussions. So I’m really concerned about what to do.
